Hey there,
I just got my new phone, a galaxy s2, i am able to download free apps but cannot download pay apps. I was hoping someone could help me out with this.
Thanks!!

There may be several reasons for this. First, you need to have some form of payment on file, either directly or with Google wallet. And it needs to be tied to your gmail account. Some people use Visa gift cards to make purchases if they are uncomfortable using a bank issued credit card.

If you are located in a country that does not support paid apps, you won't be able to get them. Here is the current list of countries where paid apps are available.

If your credit card is not accepted on the phone Market App, try the Android Market website on a computer. Sometimes, when I cannot pay for an App on the phone, I can pay for it on my Mac.
