Did you also check, if your payment information is still correct and complete, including the delivery address?

If that does not solve your problem, use this link as a start, to contact the official Apple Support about that, only they can look into your personal settings to find the reason for that:

Sorry, but this is a user to user forum, and only the official Apple Support can look into your personal settings and data, to find the reason for that.

Did you also try to contact the Apple Online Store Support?

If you managed to order an MacBook, using your Apple ID account balance, has the price already been deducted from your balance?

Did you check, if the payment info for your credit card is also complete, including the delivery address?

Since you will be charged for your MacBook Air after it has been delivered, which at this point reduces the amount of money in your Apple Account, your credit card will be charged for the remaining amount for your new iPhone purchase.

The combination Apple Account B balance + Credit Card might cause this issue as well.

Did you already call the Apple Online Store Support? It's in their interest to sell Apple products, so they should be able to help you sort that out.
