Credit Card Authorization Failed

Error message using 2checkout

[BruceB]

I'm using 2checkout to process credit card transactions on my site. When trying to make a trial buy in live mode recently I get the error message "credit card authorization failed". I tried 3 more cards with the same results. Support at 2CO says the message did not come from them, that "it had to come from the credit card company". I called Master Card and they say that there was nothing wrong with the cards or accounts. They say the message did not come from them. Back to 2CO, no change in their position. Has anyone ever seen this message? I'm running out of ideas. Thanks.

with my experience 2checkout has some problems accepting master card, it has happened to me twice, either mastercard has banned them or they, firstly i thought it might be because of country im in or My bank but now it seems it is across the board.
try visa it would go through.

Ditch 2CO is the easiest answer, I have and dont regret it.

Soslow.com should be their name.

Who did you go to instead, Essex_boy?

2CO have been under a DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack since Friday. Even though they seem to have managed it ok, it may have caused other problems in their systems. Perhaps that is part of your problem?

I tried Visa, and they don't work either. I don't thnk the problem is from a DOS attack because this has been going on for more than a week. Thanks for the ideas, keep 'em coming!
