try out this

http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact.html?form=account&topic=MacAp pStoreAccountandBilling

give apple info on the prob but dont leave ur card info

I've been having the same trouble myself. My previous card (Visa Electron) expired in Feb, just received my new one (Visa Debit) and when I try to enter it on my billing info page; "this is not a valid payment card for United Kingdom"

=head meet desk=

It's been happening all day, I emailed support and they got back to me within minutes with an insulting auto message saying "have you checked to make sure your address is entered correctly?" Oh well, I owe £10 on my iTunes account and if I can't even get my card registered to pay it.. well... no loss to me.

Mine was the exact same SIGN OUT of iTunes and sign back in DELETE ALL DETAILS - Name Address etc under the billing option then enter in your number then your cc number then your name etc click ok and BINGO mine is back now it was down for 2 days back now Im in Ireland. http://www.facebook.com/irishpsychics

Nope, didn't work. Still says "The payment card you entered is not valid in United Kingdom"

I got out of the loop by going to Settings > Store > Log Out

Then, instead of signing in inside the Settings app, I jumped to the App Store and tried to buy an app. I was prompted for my Apple ID and password and this time everything proceeded fine — no verification loop.

I hope you get it sorted mine was down for 2 days I was updating my card as it was out of date but as you can see there is 10000000 of posts all since March 5th - Its POINTLESS ringing Support or anything liek that as it is to do with iTunes so they will just tell you to use the express lane etc and I even have full Ipad2 support for 2 yrs ie I paid for it he said send a request I said its pointless its pans out all over the world I will keep and eye on the Forum I said as to when it is working I can confirm now mine is back so just keep an eye out on the forum it could be rolling back to each country slowly etc

Aye, the ExpressLane was just blegh - didn't help whatsoever.

You've reached Matthew with the iTunes Store Support Team. I understand that your credit card was not accepted by the iTunes Store. I'm sure you are eager to have this resolved and I'll be happy to help you with this.

XXXX, there was a temporary issue on the iTunes Store that was stopping cards from being accepted. It also gave the error you reported. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but It was looked into and fixed. Because of this I need to recommend trying the card again.

Now, if the issue continues, there are several possible reasons for this happening:

"The payment card you entered is not valid in Russia"... 😠

"The payment card you entered is not valid in Kazakhstan" Payment card issued by Russian Bank. Used it for 6 months and it is not valid. 😠

Why do you want to buy apps from Russia in Kazakhstan's AppStore? O_o
