CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP😭😭😭😭

I think the eShop doesn’t let you pay with credit cards from other regions.

@Eel but i bought until today?

@ademljajic I would recommend to skip the stress and use region-appropriate eShop gift cards instead. You can find them online.

In contrast I have eshop in my region, but i can only buy 5-6 games until it rejects my credit card. Then after a few days it will reset and accept the credit card again.

What you can do however, is buy eshop cards from other websites, then redeem them in the eshop.

I used eshop cards from my own region thou.

I'm pretty sure they changed this recently? It was definitely posted on here or a similar news site.
Anyway, people were exploiting the fact that some eShops have lower prices than their native country. So Nintendo blocked people using foreign cards.

I'd always recommend a gift card from a legit seller, but it's never perfect. I've done this to download Japanese Switch/PS3 games in the past. It works but it always makes me uncomfortable to some degree.

@ademljajic if you use PayPal option on switch eshop that can work. Or if you open a PayPal account you can add money to the paypal account and use it on your the PayPal option on switch eshop. But do test it out first to see if it works, maybe add just €5 to it, to see if it works. Hope you have PayPal where you are

@ademljajic In your region, it seems common that pepole run in to issues where their card starts getting rejected. There's something about buying across country lines, buying from a foreign eshop. Nintendo support usually cannot solve this. Talking to your bank/credit card MIGHT solve it. Often what's happened is, a sercurity measure gets triggered, and a full month is needed for the card to reset or clear the security hold. This all started happening after 2019 or 2020 when new security measures were implemented for Nintendo/nintendo accounts/eshop. I'm not sure if the problem's source is Nintendo, or a change in financial laws, or a combination.

PayPal was workaround, but it doesn't work for everyone, and I'm not sure what the specific reasons are.

As Eel said, the only quick solution is to buy & use eshop voucher/gift cards for that country's eshop.

@ademljajic Also, you can plug error codes into the search bar on nintendo support to find out what most error codes mean.

@ademljajic Hey there, just FYI I have amended your title as it was very vague. Thanks
