"Authorizing Purchase" in Market

[aaf709]

Update: I just tried to update another application and the same thing happened (download unsuccessful). Either it's just happening to me on every app or it's something with the market?

Quick questions:
Are you on wifi or 3G?
What is the signal strength?

For me do to any purchases at home I have to be in a "sweet spot" otherwise it doesn't work. Go a few blocks away, fine, but not at home.

I've bought my share of apps, and have never before encountered this problem before today, when, of course, I want to see if I can get psx4droid working/working satisfactorily.

This sucks. I can't cancel the purchase & redownload without giving up my possibility of a refund.

EDIT: Didn't realize this was in the Droid X forum as I found the thread off a Google search, but it's really a general Market issue anyway.

Just an update for everyone...

After waiting several days and being frustrated it still didn't go through, I checked my bank statement online and found out that my bank had denied the purchase. After several phone calls, the issue was that the charge was in a foreign currency. (I think it was euros or pounds, I forget now). Anyway, I had my CC stolen when I was overseas so it was the fraud protection or whatever my bank has in place now. I simply had to authorize the transaction and it downloaded like a charm. Thank you to everyone who offered solutions! I hope that anyone with a similar problem finds some semblance of help in this conclusion.
