User blog comment:Pappa2eco/Theodore's Treasure - Purchase Failed/@comment-74.215.138.12-20130212164648

I have had similar issues in the past........

Most of my failed purchases resulted from google play issues, combined with spinning arrow longer than 2-3 minutes in Tiny Village purchase screen. Maybe try logging into it or google wallet to find out if they are part of the issue also.

Can be numberous reasons from:

automatic fraud protection on the credit card on 1st or 2nd purchase

gift cards not activated properly and all steps in their instructions (getting email code) not completed which can be required to use them online

PIN locks on device or Wallet  (which is very very good thing to do)

expired dates

wrong email linked to accounts

battery is too low to complete transaction ( I learned the hard way not to attempt if my battery life under 15%)

and last but not least...... device lost signal mid purchase (for no real reason) which needs your permission to approve like PIN, and now transaction & account is in limbo between Google or Tiny Co

I recommend rebooting when issues like this occur, seems to help with 25% of most of my issues. Also uninstall any apps that your not using to free up memory space on device. So there are many different possiblities for Andriod software. Most purchase issues can be resolved quickly through google play / wallet, and logging into online help or emailing them if your transaction history is not correct. Yet, an easier way is letting Tiny Village figure out the issues for you, but it takes longer than fixing it yourself.

Hope all my past issues help to resolve yours quicker,  glad you asked about this because I'm sure your not the only one with this same question   :)
