Hello,
The “Invalid Charge Method / Unable to charge” error has remained on my Seller Central account for several weeks.
I have re-entered and verified my card several times. Amazon successfully completed authorisations for all required marketplaces, and the €1 verification amounts were reserved on my bank account. Seller Central also displayed confirmation that the card verification was successful.
Despite this, the error remains and the charge method status has not been updated.
I have contacted Amazon Seller Support repeatedly. Each time, I receive the same generic response asking me to add or verify the card again. The information and screenshots I provide are not properly reviewed, the actual problem is not investigated, and the case is quickly closed. I then have to open a new case, only to receive the same template response again.
I have already completed all the required steps several times. Repeating the card verification does not resolve the issue and only creates additional €1 authorisation holds.
The problem is clearly within Amazon’s technical system: the authorisations were successful, but the internal charge method status was not updated.
