Perhaps your Apple ID set-up is 'somehow incorrect' for that payment method(?)


"If you can't make purchases or update apps, including free apps, you need to 

update your payment method or add a new one. If you already verified that a

payment method is available in your country or region and you're still having

trouble, contact your financial institution."


•Payment methods that you can use with your Apple ID - Apple Support

//support.apple.com/kb/HT202631


Article linked here, is same related one; above your posted thread on this page.


As several countries and some of their details are addressed there, it may be

an idea to research what those mean. And what other payments you might use

in other aspects of online; may be 'Apple Card' or contact-less payments; etc.


"Learn how to change your payment method."

"Learn what to do if you can't remove a payment method."

Need to edit Apple Pay information?

"Change or remove the payment cards that you use with Apple Pay."


(Note: at the end section, of linked article mentioned, are much smaller printed

details, which may apply to any of those named regions. And can, in effect, be

instrumental to affect your ability to use certain payment methods, there.)

• Add a payment method to your Apple ID - Apple Support

Presently, I've not bought anything online directly; & have no 'linked' cards, etc.

And as a 'Volunteer' here, I'm seeing your question as an opportunity to learn.
