During Amazon’s operations, bound credit cards are used to pay monthly rent, advertising fees and other expenses. However, some sellers recently received an email about failed deductions. After entering the backend, they found that the “payment method is invalid” and could not perform any operations. When faced with this situation, the first question to be solved is why the credit card failed to deduct. Generally speaking, there are three reasons:
1. Incorrect credit card information
It may be due to problems such as credit card expiration, insufficient credit limit, inconsistent billing address, etc. In this case, sellers can go to “Settings” -> “Account Information” -> “Payment Information”, select “Payment Method”, check and update the credit card information. Make sure the information is accurate, including card number, billing address, CVV code, etc. If the problem is not solved 48 hours after the information is updated, try adding another credit card.
2. Bank restrictions
Sometimes the bank where the credit card is located may have restrictions on cross-border payments, resulting in payment failure. Sellers need to contact the bank to confirm whether the credit card can be deducted normally and resolve possible restrictions.
3. Amazon system problem
If the credit card information is correct and there is no problem with the bank confirmation, there may be a malfunction in the Amazon system. In this case, the seller can open a case to inquire about the specific reasons with Amazon customer service and wait for the system problem to be resolved.
It is worth noting that there is a certain probability that modifications to important information will trigger a second review. Therefore, when registering a store, you must fill in accurate information, especially the credit card billing address. If the billing address is inconsistent with the business license address, you need to add a new credit card billing address when registering the store to try to avoid problems such as credit card expiration. It is also necessary to update the credit card information in the Amazon backend in a timely manner to ensure smooth payment.
In summary, solving Amazon credit card payment problems requires multiple aspects, including checking credit card information, contacting the bank for confirmation, and communicating with Amazon customer service. Only by ensuring that the payment method is valid can the normal operation of the store be guaranteed.
