Invalid charge method error

When creating an Amazon seller account and reaching the credit card registration stage, an error message appears indicating that the card is invaild , despite confirming that all provided data is accurate—card number, name, address—and the bank confirming the validity of the information and the card’s activation.

Even after trying for more than a week and using different valid cards, the same message persists.

Please advise on the reason behind the inability to register a valid credit card and how to fix this error

The “Invalid Card” message normally shows when the card is expired, daily transaction limit is exceeded, there aren’t enough funds or the new card wasn’t activated by entering the pin code.

Try adding a new card to your account to see if this gets fixed.

  • Adequate credit available.
  • No limitations on internet or mail order charges.
  • Is not a ‘prepaid’ card.
  • Chargeable in the currency of the Amazon marketplace where you registered your seller account.
