Can not make purchases on Minecraft.net

The other day I tried to purchase Minecraft Java edition the other day. Website kept telling me there was an error with my card. I verified my info repeatedly. Ended up having to get a gift card to purchase the game. Today, I tried to purchase a Realm subscription. Again, I received the payment error. I tried to purchase the $9.99 option with Paypal. It, too, was given the payment error. I can buy things from any other site perfectly fine. I want to give you money. Monthly money even. Yet, I can't purchase anything. This is making me go to a third party hosting site when I'd rather do business with "Minecraft".
