Newegg can't authorize my payment?

[Krylock]

I'm trying to buy a laptop right now with the "bill me later" option. I enter all correct information, shipping address, name, number, social security, etc. This is my first purchase from newegg so I've never used it before.

Here's what I see:

I've tried about 6 times, and still no cigar. I've googled it and couldn't find any solutions.

No experience with this; I would read the faq then try to talk to the support department.

As far as I know, Bill Me Later is basically a short-term loan. So it will look at your credit history. Could that be related?

Did you do any of that? Or you could just use a different payment method.
