Can't you just either call Nintendo or call your CC company to cancel/refund.


I can call my CC company yes, but I didnt want it to go that far, and I want to know why it used to work well and now it doesn't

Maybe you need to spend more than $6000 before Nintendo give your money back.

I can't see your images but I guess you got an error from Nintendo and the bank is charging you. Don't worry, the bank registers that a transaction is made but Nintendo won't charge for it and in a few days it will disappear. I guess your credit card is not American, cause I had the same problem the other day. I changed my region to USA (my credit card is from Mexico), tried to buy some games but had the error and received message from the bank. Non of this was charged at the end, so I say don't worry about it, but check in the bank to be sure.

Edit:

One question, which Region do you have in your 3DS? And before this could you buy games without trouble?


Thats exactly what it is,

Here are the pictures , I'm using my iPad at the moment so that's why they didn't embed the right way

As for your questions yes it did work flawlessly before the recent update , and I don't remember what region I have it on, how do I check?


In the Settings of the 3DS, there you can choose your Region, or in the Street Mii Plaza you can also check it.

It's weird though that before it worked and not now, your Credit Card is not american right?

For example, my credit card is from Mexico and if my Region is set to Mexico there's no problem, but when I changed it to USA (I wanted those damn Club Nintendo coins :(  ) it showed me the same error. I guess something similar is happening to you, from my experience in a few days it will disappear from your Bank because in theory Nintendo is not charging for it.


Yeah it's not American, it's a visa though, it used to work before, on wii as well,  how do you buy stuff now? Using the cards?

I still use the cards but my Region is set to Mexico. I guess your region is set to United States, so change it to Kuwait and there should be no problem. If you can check in internet your Credit Card information, check daily for a week, if they are still charging you talk to the bank, but I say in a few days it will disappear.

Problem is it doesn't list my country in it' and another problem is the nearest countries don't have their own stores xD I might try Mexico then



Soma on 26 April 2012

I forgot something, you already have 7dlls? If that so then definitely your region is definitely United States (dollars is not the coin from Kuwait, is it?)

Be careful, unfortunately you have to spend that money first because if you change your Region, the next time you enter the eshop your settings will be changed and will be asked if you want to lose that money, really stupid but that's the way it is. So spend it first and then change your Region. You can try it by yourself, they ask you first so just be careful in selecting "Cancel" :p

Damn, that's bad news. No, lol, changing it to Mexico won't work, your credit card must be from the same country as your region, at least that's what I'm guessing. If your country doesn't appear... you may want to talk to Nintendo then :S

yea just contact them and you can get that fixed.

Likely just a half-processed card charge, such that your card saw it happen but the data didn't go all the way through to your 3DS
