Origin - Why can't I pay with my credit card or with paypal?

[Mister 44]

So far I have tried multiple different credit cards, I've tried it on the website and through the client. Ive also tried it on a whole new computer. Nothing. It just won't let me buy the game.
It shows the game as available to South Africa for R119.99 .... but there is no way to actually buy it.

I duplicated your purchase and I'm getting the same issues: Paypal doesn't show up as a payment option and while it recognizes the CC number as being Visa, the site can't verify it.
I've also tried buying some other, random games but I get the same problem so it's not a Battlefield issue.
In August, last year, I managed to buy Mass Effect 3 and NFS: Hot Pursuit with the same CC so I'm pretty sure Origin is screwed. I'll try again this afternoon with my FNB card and report my findings.
