Can't authorize the selected payment option.

anyone?

I am getting the same for my paypal which i know is in full working order, I think there are issues with the marketplace just now.

I am also getting the same error.

It actually let me through to purchase points, and it charged my paypal account for them, but it didn't give me them.

weird.

it accepted the credit card yesterday. but my 3 month gold member expired yesterday and the promo for $10 for 3 months is gone. :(

Gragan: Are you getting an error setting up your Paypal, or when purchasing?

Ronshouse: You can check our billing site (https://billing.microsoft.com) to see point deposits as well as spending them. Do you see your points here?

OsoBear: I'm sorry to hear that the promo is no longer available, but don't worry too much, we are running promos all the time! Let us know if you have any other issues.

im getting it to with visa, but im in canada, and my billing adress is the same as where im connecting from, also my card info totally works, i just got some PSN cash for when castlevania HoD with couch co-op comes to psn 2morrow, so i KNOW the cards fine....GRRR (not angry directly at you mr gwyther...just.....RRRRRRRR)

Dawn: Have you checked all the suggestions in our Payment Method Guide (forums.xbox.com/.../19164.aspx)? Have you tried any other payment method on your account?

yes, and now the sites just plain out giving me a "this action cannot be performed at this time, please try again later: message   along with for more info go to support, and then it just link to the generic support home page.   id post a screenie, but im not sure if these forums support screenshots, and im a bit to lazy to find out.

at this point when red text is telling me not now, try again later, i generally assume its something to do with xbox and not my account,  (i also got a response in another thread reguarding this and saying xbox is having problems)

Dawn: Just to clarify, are you trying to add your payment method on Xbox.com or the console? Try the console, and let me know if you get an error there. Thanks!

And on my console and on my computer as well, does not work, thank you xbox, you should give away some extras for the inconvenience...
