Are you connected to a WiFi hot spot or home network? Also having a google shopping account set up ahead of time will help w/ security (piece of mind for yourself).

On your computer go to checkout.google.com and add your card there.

It'll then be added to your Android Market when your google accounts sync and will let you purchase the app.

Had the same problem yesterday and this worked perfectly.

JoshH is correct went to Google and the information they had was outdated by about 5 years.
Updated my credit card info and then could buy the item. My wife wasn't thrilled, finding out I can now spend even more on this damn phone

Thanks Josh

Thank you, I have tried to buy a few apps and it never accepts the information. I will add my information to google accounts.

Thank you! I've been having the problem too.
