Original story (published on June 26, 2023) follows:

The Pixel Fold demonstrates Google’s dedication to innovation and pushing the boundaries of smartphone design.

The company strives to provide customers with devices that are versatile, adaptable to their needs and deliver an amazing experience.

The Pixel Fold combines the functionality of a smartphone with a flexible display technology, allowing one to enjoy watching content or playing a game on a larger screen.

However, some are unhappy as they are unable to get their hands on the recently launched device.

Fresh reports (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) suggest that some users are facing difficulties while ordering the Google Pixel Fold. It has been alleged that one’s order gets canceled with the ‘issue with payment method’ error.

And notably, those who ordered the phone on the first day of launch are facing this issue as well. They argue that there was no indication of any problems with the order until now.

Surprisingly, some are facing this problem even after increasing the limit of their Google Store financing account specifically for making the purchase.

I had my limit increased when I pre ordered. I am hoping the orders aren’t cancelled and if I wait, it’ll fix itself. If they are aware and it’s happening to a lot of people I would assume they can fix it without reordering it.

They are also perplexed because their accounts were approved by Google years ago and have been used for purchases previously as well.

One of those affected says that their order from the Google Store got canceled without a clear explanation.

They also add that the payment was processed correctly and speculate that this could be happening due to server-side glitches.

My card was charged this morning. Estimated delivery is Wed or Thurs this week. I did get an email this morning saying my card had a problem.
