Got in, pressed purchase, got the modal, pressed the pay button, "Your purchase will complete momentarily ...", sat for a while, closed modal, started over x2, tried waiting for 3 minutes, timed out, no pending charges. How annoying.

Same. I suppose this is the lottery everyone is asking for?
yup....Google still hasn't mastered e-commerce.
The same problem plagues the ticket sites when music festival tickets go on sale (TicketMaster, Gigs and Tours, etc.) and also the London Olympics site. No one seems to get it right.
i waited, and finally got a "try again, the payment timer timed out" .. so frustrating
