This is all over the internet, with thousands of android users tearing their hair out, and most getting no solutions.
I have just bought an S9 as a present for my GF, set it all up (had an S7 etc for years so know android pretty well, albeit all my stuff is rooted) but
1) cannot get paypal to work
2) one credit card never works
3) another credit card worked a few times and then stopped
4) phone account payments (Vodafone) stopped when monthly limit reached
Well, 4) is at least obvious and maybe there is a config in the phone account somewhere.
1 2 and 3 are bizzare.
Google have pages on this, waffling on about clearing the play store app cache etc but nothing does anything.
Even the card which was authorised (by a long phone call with the card provider) to work on Google Pay does not work for app purchases!
The error message is the standard completely useless one, same every time.
How does a company with so many billions to spend on getting things right manage to screw up so badly?
I vaguely recall going through this years ago with my first android phone, making a long call to some chimp call centre, to get it "fixed".
Paypal works fine for me, but my own paypal account also completely failed to work on the S9. Yet I see no config in my Paypal account (on the www) for authorising google appshop payments.
Has anyone found a solution that actually works, or does everyone end up calling google's chimp call centre?
