In our previous article, we discussed the best value-for-money option to buy Robux. Roblox players can buy Robux in several ways – Roblox gift card, Roblox premium and directly through the website.
However, some users report an error – ‘An Error Occurred During this Purchase’ – while trying to buy Robux using the payment method directly from the website.
If you have had the same issue while making payments, you have reached the right web page. In this post, we will be discussing the workaround and methods to fix this issue.
Why does Roblox say “An Error Occurred During this Purchase. Please try again later.”
Answer in nutshell: Roblox says, ‘An error occurred during this purchase’ because the user’s account is unverified, the payment method is unverified, Roblox servers are not responding, or the account is not in good standing.
1. Unverified account
If the account created is not verified, you will see issues when purchasing Robux with the same account.
2. Unverified payment details
It is also possible that the payment method you are trying to use for purchasing Robux doesn’t exist. You might have added the wrong payment credentials.
3. Issues with Roblox servers
If you have verified your account and payment method and are still facing the same issue, it is possible that the Roblox servers are down and not working as intended. And this might have caused issues in purchasing Robux.
4. Issues with account standing
If the account used for purchasing Robux is relatively new, you might experience problems completing the procedure. It is also possible that Roblox’s security system has flagged the account for suspicious activity.
