No matter what I do , I can’t change my payment method, as a keen game player, my purchases are still going to an account that I don’t want to use, desperately need to change to credit card…..but how?
The usual “fix its “ do not work, anyone else with these issues?
iPad Pro, iPadOS 18
You don't say what those usual fix-its are so we're kind of left guessing what you have tried.

Here is how you update your payment method on an iPhone or iPad:

4. Tap Add Payment Method, enter the new payment method, then tap Done.
5. Tap Edit.
6. Tap the red delete button next to the old payment method, then tap Delete.
Also note:
1) ”If you change your address, the credit or debit card information that you use with your Apple Account might be automatically updated by your financial institution, and you don't need to take action.”
2) “If there's an issue [such as you having a subscription or being a Family Sharing Organizer], add a new card first, then remove the old card."
If an app or feature on your device is not working, not appearing, or is restricted (grayed out), it may have been disabled using Screen Time, or by an IT administrator if you are using a device owned by an employer or educational institution.
