Got a problem with downloading "Game Dev Story" help please :)

[CobraElite]

Hi all, I just joined this forum as I just brought my first Android phone, HTC desire. I was going through the market when I saw "game Dev story", I tried the free version and loved it. But when I tried to buy it everything has gone downhill. I paid for the item but then got an email saying your order is on hold. Then it got cancelled. So I brought it again and the I got an email saying update my bank details from Google. Did that then it got cancelled again.....I tried for one last time and this time it got cancelled and I got an email saying "couldn't process this order due to an internal error in market".
What's happening lol. I brought a game before this happened called zenoria a zelda like game and that went through perfect, so my bank details can't be wrong.
Has anybody else had this problem before?
I've also emailed Google market support about 5 days ago but have not received an email back from them yet.
Anyway all the help will be very grateful!
Thanks all!

I went into the bank today and they have no records of me trying to buy this item. They reckon it is the market having an error???

I don't know a great deal about this, but I think its the game. I've read reviews of people not being able to purchase this particular game and many of them (including me) were able to purchase it, but only after waiting an extended period of time for the purchase authorization. For me it was only about 15 minutes, but I have read of others waiting several hours. My guess is the problem is related to the developer, but that's just a guess. Your situation sounds paericularly annoying, I hope Google resolves it for you soon. I've never had a problem with any other purchases except for this one. Sorry I can't say much to help.

Ive read of others having problems purchasing it because the transaction is in Yen (Jap currency). Bank systems will sometimes flag and decline transactions in foreign currency for fraud prevention reasons...but if you're bank don't have a record of it then I guess it's not them that declined it. I'd just try again in 24hrs or so.
