Just got my PB this morning! I'm trying to purchase a few apps from App World. I keep getting the following message when trying to purchase with Credit Card. (I know there is available credit )

There is a problem with your credit card authorization. Please try again.Error id: 1000). And when I try purchasing using PayPal I get Problem encountered with PayPal authorization (Error:5300)

Anyone else having issues?

Where are you located? I've never had a problem but always used paypal. Maybe hit up support.

Im in Northern California ... I will try to contact support - sadly I have to put my PB away and go to work now. I'm loving it so far....if I could just buy some apps I will be in love!

When you put in your paypal credentials you didn't happen to use your bb ID email and password did you?

azrin, where from?

No, i used my paypal account and password. this is very frustrating!

[kbz1960]

Hope support can help you. I asked because some used the same email and password for their ID when they needed to put in their paypal email and password.

Good luck.

hey OP try this:

when you click buy, and the pop up that gives you a price summary and lets you confirm payment, look at the payment type and there should be a link to change payment type. click it and re-enter credentials and it should work.

with paypal, it was giving a similar error and doing this prompted to re-enter paypal login. maybe with cc its the same

I have tried this many times, using different credit cards and even used a different paypal, still no luck. I'm so sad because I can't buy any apps.

You may want to try setting up the PayPal via the Appworld web site from a PC.

In addition, the initial setup of paypal creates a preapproved charge authorization and until you confirm this authorization, the charges will not go through. This preapproved charge authorization is only good for a year and then you need to renew it. I had my appworld purchases fail and the problem was it had been just over a year since I authorized Appworld for use with phone apps.

If you setup the Paypal charge properly, you should get an email from Paypal similar to email I received below.

You've signed up for preapproved payments plan with Research In Motion .

To view the details, log in on the PayPal homepage, go to your Profile, and click Preapproved Payments. Then click Research In Motion:PA-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.

Thanks,
PayPal

I'm going to try doing what you suggested. But I did receive that e-mail everytime i try purchasing an app then I would get the error.

To fix pre-approved payments (I think it suspends them temporarily), you need to 'change your pin' but its not very clear on what pin or how to change :/

Oh that is interesting - anybody have any input on this on how and what to change?

[snoozininsomniac]

maybe try to change your appworld password from web on a laptop/desktop whatever

Nope .... this didn't work either. I changed my password, updated my credit card and paypal at appworld website on computer. Still can't purchase apps.

I had the same problem when I got my first PB. Solved it by going to the blackberry.com site and signing into my BBID account. There I was able to select payment method. I selected Paypal, and have never had a problem since.

I had some problems purchasing my first app using paypal. But after a few tries it seemed to work fine. Not sure why it wasn't working at first.

[Rooster99]

Had same issue and am from Canada. Spent a lot of time on it with RIM support. Apparently the issue is with a "service provider". Background here, plus what I was forced to do to fix the problem :

As you suggested, I called RIM's tech reps - they are really helpful and nice. They decided that it's a security issue because I have same problem buying apps on my phone when using a credit card. I had to end the call as I had to go to work, but got a case number and will call back soon. I was told that I will need to create a new Blackberry ID and do a secuity wipe. They will guide me through all this when I call back. I will report if it solves the issue.

Yes, Digital River may be the cause for some of these transactions not going through.
