Is anyone else having problems with the Nintendo eShop? It's been over 2 weeks now and I cannot purchase anything because it says that my credit card cannot be used.
Nintendo responds by saying the problem is with the bank. But it is not. I checked. I tried multiple credit cards (visa and mastercard) and debit cards as well.
There is no other form of payment like there is in other countries (we don't get eShop voucher nor Paypal functionality in this country).
I've restarted my Switch. Tried making the payments online on the website instead of the Switch. Nothing is working.
Has anyone else experienced this issue??

(I have switched to the Mexican eShop now, and found a fix, but this is not really a long-term solution).
 
I bought a game yesterday. Worked fine. I'm on the EU region.
 
Have you got your cc details stored on the eshop store ? if so remove them and make sure to put the info in again.

Did any of these other cards work on your profile when purchasing online ?

That fact that you had to swap regions to purchase online says it all, this means the EU / region shop doesn't recognize your card details and won't accept them.

You must ask your bank about these things, they need to investigate :)

I had the same problem, could not use any credit card of mine and confirmed with nintendo that the fault is not with the bank because I tried several cards from different banks. Nintendo replied it is a credit card lock on my account and I must wait 30 days without trying to make any purchases from the E-Shop, if you do the 30 days will start all over. I did that and its working 100 %.
