App Store Volume Purchase Program Error

We have been trying to purchase apps through the App Store Volume Purchase Program site for over a week. When we log in and select the quantity of apps we want and click "Buy", we receive the error message:


"We are currently experiencing technical difficulties. Please try again later."


I have called customer service, submitted a Fast Lane inquiry, and no one knows or can say what the problem is.


Anyone else having the same issue? We have purchased apps in the last few months with no problems.

Check your proxies, filtering, and firewall logs. Set your browser to the lowest security settings. Turn off pop up blocking . When you open the education store now it redirects to another page with this message: "This web page is being redirected to a new location. Would you like to resend the form data you have typed to the new location?". If this is being suppressed due to a security setting in your browser or there is an https 443 setting in your firewall that is set to the highest level you won't get anywhere. You could try the store from home or a non work location and see if that helps/

I'm having exactly the same problem -- the quick flash to store for a second and then spinning. Tried Firefox, IE, Safari. I have no proxies or filtering, no popup blocking, accepting all cookies. I've tried the store from both home and work; same results. This has been happening for a few days this time around. I also happened for a few days in late March.


Is anyone at Apple working on this?
