Trying to buy Skype credit but it wants me to pay ...

I'm trying to buy Skype credit, but every time I click on the link to buy skype credit, it takes me to a ".tw" page and only gives me the option of buying skype credit in TWD. I'm living in the U.S., and I've changed every single location/address setting I could find to reflect that, but Skype still thinks I'm in Taiwan and requires me to enter in Taiwan-related information that I do not have. How can I fix this?

Hello and welcome to the Skype Community.
That's because you created your account in Taiwan. please contact Skype customer service and ask that your account be unlinked from our Taiwanese Partner.

Unable to Buy Skype Credit!

I have just tried to buy Skype Credit, but the system
tells me that I have reached my monthly credit limit,
this I don't understand, I didn't know that there was
any limits on purchases.
This block is from Skype, I have tried 2 different cards
and also PayPal, everyone was rejected.
I really need to call Bolivia every day and now I am
unable to do so.
How can I get this block removed?
Mike.

Problem with buying Skype credit.

I have tried to buy Skype credit several times, but no success. Everytime after I clicked the Continue button to make the purchase, it went to the page showing Loading and being frozen there.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,the only thing I need,is someone who works by Skype company. I have problem with buying the skype credit and I sent it wrong. Please dont answer or dont ask what is wrong. I need someone from skype who I can call to. This is incredible,that this big company like skype doesnt have an operator who I can talk to. Or if they have,why is it so hard to find a concact to them ?
So please I want only contact to a skype worker,thank you. The best will be,if the contact is his skype nick name,I dont want call from my handy for money. Please,tell me that its possible,im getting mad. Ive spent my time on the PC 2 hours to look for someone and I didnt find anyone. And it is so simple thing. Thank you,Marek

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?

Is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorisations have the correct information on file.
And/or 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

You will also need to pay sales taxes for your area.

You can only purchase content from your own country's store - if your account is not based in the UK (and you are not in the UK) then you won't be able to buy content from there. Is the album available on other music download purchase sites in your country ? You could try contacting Apple to say that you want it adding to your store, but ultimately it's the distributor/record company that will have to grant Apple a license to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

Someone is trying to buy skype premium with my acc...

Hi, some one is trying to buy skype premium with my skype credit but since i have not filled in my credit the payment failed. In my purchase history shows 5 purchase attempt and I have received 5 email from skype about payment fail. I don't have purchased anything and I want this to stop.

The only way that would be occurring is if someone has access to your Skype account. I would suggest you change your password immediately. Log into your account and make sure no other email/Microsoft accounts are linked to your Skype account as well.

I triedmany times to purchase Sky credit. But I get themessage that I have been blocked. Contact help line.
I do not see any help line as such.
The reason I think I was blocked that earlier this year there was a free offer for one month forClick to call. I signed for that and gave my credit card details. I then went toIndia and I tried to make skype phone call but I could never connect any number in India or to UK where I reside.
Because the monthly payment of nearly ten ponds would statrt from thenext month, I cancelled the standing order payment ( earlier month was free offer like any one can get even now ).Just because I cancelled the standing order, I can not buy a credit now. I offered to pay up any thing If I owe any money but I do not get any response.
I get warning mail every day from Skype that I should renew my subscription. But I can not renew my subscription because I have been blocked ! It is a chicken and egg situation, which occurs first. Can any one suggest how I can purchase Sky credit?
Thanks.

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.
