    I having a really hard time making a purchase. I get an error every time. I checked my account info, made sure money was in there and still nothing. I have been trying to buy in the store for the past week. I will have the transaction recorded with my bank and cannot download the asset (it does not even show it is in my assets to download). The payment will get reversed in a couple hours. put a ticket in and it said it would take up to a week to answer. You have got to do better than this.

    Transaction failed twice, checked everything and info is good. Super confused and stressing because the sale is ending and the discount are a huge motivator on the purchase as a first time user. While following up on trying to resolve the issue I find out from my bank I have been double charged even though the Unity Store declined the transaction and the resubmit. Super frustrated, confused and now have an uncomfortable amount of money tied up. Kinda regretting deciding to go the Unity route atm with this being part of my first day of experience.

    This transaction was flagged for additional review. You will be contacted by a Unity representative in the event we require additional information.[ERR:80.133.194]

    Different browsers, cards, paypal, cell network with new IP - all the same. Of course nobody "will be contacted by a Unity representative" and nobody will answer support ticket. Only working solution is to use Unreal Engine instead.

    Same problem here.
    Can't use both credit card and PayPal to purchase an asset. I hope it'll get resolved before the sale ends.
    My ticket is #969331

    After waiting half a week for a responce from customer service I received two different answers as to the cause of my issue. The first was that there was a transaction refusal on the side of my bank. As I had contacted my bank immediately after trying to go through the Unity Store side trouble shooting I knew this to be false, the Unity Store had billed me twice and had I not put stops on the payments would have gone through according to my banker.


    Customer service then informs me that new/1st time users have a purchase limit cap of $100. This is disclosed/documented no where accessible to a new user. Not even as part of the transaction refusal prompt which tells you check your information and resubmit, each time resulting in a charge to your payment method. That is ridiculous, a user could mess up their bank account seriously when going into this loop and have no idea why.

    The in regards to the lost opportunity to participate in the sale savings due to these undisclosed terms and long customer service reply times the official response given "We run sales all the time so just wait for the next one." Lost time, financial funds being locked up in the store improper charges, and the solution is spend more money or wait around and hope the items you need pop up on sale again an indeterminate amount of time later.  Honestly one of the worst customer service responses I have seen in my life.

    All in all extremely discouraging as a new user. I can not recommend the store front at all after this experience.

    for future reference. Just had this issue. I had a VPN on my mac. Even though it was set to UK transaction was refused. Monzo card and Paypal/Barclays. Turned VPN off and it worked.

    Transaction flagged.  I've sent a request in to Unity support.  Hopefully they get back to me before the sale is over.

    Tried Firefox (credit card + paypal) and Edge (credit card + paypal).  No VPN.  Private FireFox browser doesn't work either, neither does a normal window.

    Tried several times now with different combinations of things.

    Can anyone help with this?

    Hi Eric, 

    Thanks for the comment, 

    I've checked that you were able to purchase the asset successfully after then. It seems like your payment transaction failed to be charged due to risk rejected error that can be caused by VPN or Proxy setup. 

    Please reach out to us anytime if you need any further assistance later.

    I had the ESOCKET error, paypal was credited, the full amount.

    I did not receive an Invoice, and the order in the assetstore is 'Pending'.

    Could you help me?

    I've been trying all day to purchase a subscription to Unity Pro.  I open a support ticket and I get a reply that you have a high volume and there is over a two month wait on contacting me.  I either get a 400 error or a message stating to check the card information or contact my bank.  I've tried multiple cards and have the same issues.  The Visa cards are correct and active.

    You do not have a method where I can purchase the subscription through sales via telephone.  After reading some of the comments for the last 6 years, it's ridiculous the problems customers are having with card payments.  I'm concerned now how secure my payment method and whether or not I've been spending $2,040 each try.

    My ticket is #1672956.  We've hired a developer and he is waiting on the license to begin his job.  Am I going to have wait two months for him to get started?

    @Carie Brown, 

    it is a bit misleading, I got contacted pretty quick after my post in this thread.

    Got a decent enough answer and help to resolve the issue. I've bought several other assets after that in the last few days. Just make sure not to buy anything expensive for you first order. There is a Anti fraud mechanic that can hold your purchase. Making a small one first helps.

    Atleast that was told to me

    I've had issues every time I've made a purchase using PayPal for the past two weeks. I have tried at least 5 times to buy the asset but it keep show "Error 80.133.194". FYI, I have checked from PayPal side and it seems no problem with my Paypal account. For this issue, I have submitted ticket as well. Kindly check on it.
