Aliexpress payment problems

[Greeny]

Yes, i had exactly the same message about a week ago.
It was my first purchase on Aliexpress.

It would go through the whole process, send me to my credit card issuers verification page, and then on return to Aliexpress, i got the message
'payment failed system currently unavailable'
This happened 4 or 5 times. So I waited until next morning and tried again, same problem.

I was trying to pay without Aliexpress storing my card details. So i tried entering & storing my card details first.
I then went to pay and it went straight through.
Not sure if it was coincidence or whether that was the reason, but it might be worth a try.
You can delete your card details afterwards if you're not happy with them storing them.

Cheers
