Okay, so I just have a question to ask about the Wii U VC and the eShop. Well, does the eShop accept debit cards?I know that it accepot any crediti card but i was wondering if it accepts debit cards as well. because I don't have a credit card, but I do have a debit card that I got from my local Bank and was wondering if the Nintendo eShop will still accept money from debit cards.

What type of card do you have is it just a strait debit card or a debit/credit card if it's just debit that could be your problem.

EShop will not accept either debit or debit/credit cards.

EShop will not accept either debit or debit/credit cards.

Yes it does. At least here in the UK it does. I have used a Visa debit card.

In Canada it won't accept RBC visa debit.

Yes, the Wii U eShop does accept debit cards.

 

I am having the same issue as cheep-cheep.

 

I am in the US and I used my Visa debit card at a previous address.  Then I moved, still in the US, changed my address with my bank, and changed my location in the Wii U eShop and on my user account with Nintendo, but the eShop says the addresses don't match.

 

It's definitely on the Nintendo side because my bank is approving all of the attempted transactions.  They actually show up in my online statement as pending.

 

I suspect the issue is that the eShop only asks for a location, city, state and county, instead of an address.  There are even locations that don't exist such as the area where I live.  There is the actual location listed and also a local name for the area which is not real; similar to "China Town" in San Francisco.

 

I've called Nintendo multiple times to try and get this resolved, but no one there seems to understand how the system works.

 

I was given a supervisor's number, 877-803-3676, to call next but I have to wait for my tolerance level to build back up to tackle this again.

 

I'll post an update the next time I have a couple hours to waste on hold.
