Can't buy credit easily. Help?

I used to be able to buy Skype credit easily online, just using my credit card. But now at the checkout page, I'm given only three options for 'Payment Method' - Skrill, PlaySpan and paysafecard - and none of them let me do this (correct me if I'm wrong).
Skrill doesn't work because I live in Illinois, and Skrill isn't available in Illinois. paysafecard doesn't work because you can only buy them in Europe -- I'm in Hanoi, Vietnam at the moment. As far as PlaySpan, I don't want to go out and find a Western Union or a MoneyGram every time I want to re-up my Skype credit.
Something I'm missing here? Any way to just pay with my card online?

But I have everything filled out and I have enough money for a movie in my account. The movie I want it $9.99. I have $10.22 from a gift card.
Sales taxes are probably pushing the cost of the movie over your remaining balance.

Auto Recharge not working, can't buy credit - Dumps me to front page when "Buy" is clicked

I already contacted Customer Service (if you can call it that) on the Chat link. They couldn't fix the problem and said they have to escalate it, and I still haven't heard back. The problem is that auto-recharge isn't working, and really never has. I solved the problem in the past by clicking "buy credit" and just added credit to my account. Now when I do that, it dumps me out to the main front page of the skype.com website. Before you tell me to clear cache and cookies, I tried it from 3 different computers, and even my iphone, same results. Can someone who works for Skype please help? If customer service has devulved into posting to a community so we "can help each other" and there is no one to talk to from the company, how is this ever going to success long term? Microsoft and Skype should be embarrassed. I guess I need to start looking for an alternative solution to international IP calling.

Hello Jerry and welcome to the Community.
1. First posting rule: Never use someone else's thread even if you think you have exactly the same issue. You don't.
2. No two issues are ever identical. There are too many variables. ALWAYS start your own topic.
3. Not advisable and not recommended.
4. A much better way to achieve your objective is to purchase a Skype Gift Card. Details here: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12197/what-is-a-skype-gift-card-and-where-can-i-buy-one?frompage=...
TIME ZONE - US EASTERN. LOCATION - PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA.
I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac
If my advice helped to fix your issue please mark it as a solution to help others.

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

It is because of license rules.

Contact iTunes support in the UK and request that they zero out your account so that you can change the country in your account.

When playing games on my Ipod, I can't buy gold packs on Fifa or gems on Clash of Clans. What can I do? I have credit on my Itunes account.

What happens when you try to buy them, does the 'buy' button not work, do you get any error messages ... ?
If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them why the message is appearing (we are fellow users here on these forums, we won't know why) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
If it's a different problem then some info as to what happens would be useful if you want help.

Your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

Can i buy itunes gift card online from ireland, which can be redeemed in the USA. I do not have a US credit card or billing address (just an Irish one)

You might be able to buy the gift cards from Best Buy. They sell iTunes cards and will accept international credit cards. See:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Help-Topics/International-Orders/pcmcat204400050019. c?id=pcmcat204400050019
They say that you can't order iTunes "codes", but I don't know if that applies to the physical cards. But you can try it.
Regards.

Re: Can't buy Skype Credit

Hi Claudius,I am wondering if you can help ,I have been trying ,for weeks ,to buy more credit,I am in touch with Customer Service for the last week,and the only advice I am getting from them is to check my cookies,etc.
I have told them ,over and over,that I have done that,and more,I have used several computers,laptops and iPad,and disabled cookies and protected mode,to do this operation.
All of them stop short from transferring funds from PayPal to my Skype account,and the message I am getting is:
Something went wrong here
What that is,they will not tell me!
Now,I have done this several times this year and before,and seldom I had any problems.
I still have around $ 16 on my account,as credit.
Can you be more creative than your customer service people,that basically are giving me the standard "computerized" answer?
Right now I have no clue what is the problem that the Skype page has with accepting my payments,they have done it a number of times before,and this is just a pain in the neck,and that is an overly decent statement.
Thanks
Alberto

Same problem. When using mastercard or visa, the error is "Something went wrong there".
When using PayPal, the transaction is OK, but after that, Skype refund the money... So, the money go from my bank account immediate, and after 3-7 days go back.
My cards are OK, my PayPal is OK, but Skype refuse the payment when using credit cards and refund the payments when using PayPal. From the live chat - technical support they say that nothing is wrong with my skype account and to try after 24h... They see that skype refund the money charget with PayPal, but they can not explain why.
As I see, this issue occurs since 2012... Just do a search with Google:
"Something went wrong there" skype
Or...
Can't buy Skype credit
But, no explanation from technical support, just suggestions for change browser or the computer... or try after 24h...
I will try tomorrow again Any other suggestion?

Can't buy skype credit - An internal error occurre...

i got this error message when buying skype credit.
"An internal error occurred.
Sorry, but we were unable to start your payment. Please try again later."
any help would be appreciated.

I have a similar problem, Skype tells me everything is fine with my account but it isn't, I can't purchase additional credit and I'm running out!
I've been using Skype for longer than I care to remember all over the world, then Microsoft came along...lots of advertsing banners...lots of tinkereing which the say "will improve our experiance" (offensive text removed).
Please don't ask me to send a screen shot it will not help, what will help is putting pressure on the Microsoft (offensive text removed) to fix this problem. I've been trying to buy credit for several days now and it will not log me into the final checkout screen.
