Inability to submit payment EA

I am planning to submit my application to MIT EA, but I can’t enter the payment page. After clicking the button to pay via credit card and entering the verification number, I had a long pause and the following message ultimately appears:

"You are not authorized to view this page. The transaction has not been processed.

If the problem persists please report your problem."

Does anyone have the same problem?

Yes, I am having the same issue. I took a look, and it seems the payment service is down currently. I tried to see if they had an official statement about the downtime, but their support page is down too. Rats.

About five minutes ago I was able to get through to the payment page, but once I submitted all my information, I got a 500 Server Error, followed by a session timeout. Bummer.

Finally able to get through it… fortunately it seems it’s just a circumstantial matter. Btw, good luck to anyone applying in EA!
