Google Play Store And Declined Card Transaction (DCC) Which Way Forward? by Wilfem(m): 4:33pm On Aug 10, 2016
Hello everyone, for like the past 3 months, I've been trying to purchase some apps on the Google Play Store, using my GTB MasterCard, but at the end it won't go through as the the card is being rejected and I also kept getting mails from GTB. What's the way forward now, so as to be able to purchase apps from the Play Store? Or is that the end for now?[i][/i] embarassed
Below is the screenshot of the mail I got from GTB

change your address to usa and the purchase price will change from naira to dollar.Then you can use your card to buy anything you want to.

Here is the rest of the procedure..Try to login your gmail account attached to your playstore on your phone browser or pc.That's after u have change your address to usa. then goto playstore on that same browser and search for the app u wanna buy,the price will be displayed in $ and one more payment option will be added which is paypal.So if your card is still been declined u can opt for paying with paypal linked to ur atm card.

It may interest you to note that the card are block for some merchant forexample, you can use Nigeria bank Credit Card to fund Paypal but, you cannot use that same card to fund Neteller & of-which both are payment processor. You can imagine the discrapancy. Don't be surprise if that same card can't buy from ebay or amazon.

I normally use gift cards for my play store purchases. There are sites that sell Google play gift cards, just buy a us gift card, pay with Paypal or bitcoin

I tried this option, using an USA address and when I went back to Play Store, the Naira denomination is still being displayed on the application. I actually saw a PayPal option on my neighbour's phone and was wondering how it got there, she didn't even know, as she hasn't even made use of the Play Store to install anything on her phone.

Go and get a dollar card from GTB or any other bank , only stress is you have to start sourcing for dollars to deposit into the dollar account or try an ecobank / firtsbank naira mastercard
