Dunno if this is in the proper section, however quite recently I tried to purchase minecraft from minecraft.net and it refused the purchase. I do have a theory and I believe that due to the many purchases right before Christmas, they are backed up and are not accepting more purchases until they sort out their current purchases. I know there are others who cannot buy premium at the moment as well so thats why I thought I should post this. My theory may not be correct however, other opinions would be welcome on the topic.

I hope you are able to get minecraft soon though.
