It never gets to accepting payment ANY method, so it's not related to that.

 

See the screenshot:

               -This is what happens the moment I choose a plan and it moved to the payment page.

               -The box on the right will spin for hours and the window at the top says, "Something went wrong. Please refresh the page or contact customer support."

                -You can see the purchase box is greyed out and 'locked.' It stays that way after entering multiple cards or choosing PayPal.  

                 -Nothing changes it.  There is NO option to move forward.

Hi Catalyst-of-Awesomeness, do you have any proxy, VPN, firewall, security software, or even ISP/router settings that could be restricting traffic to the following Dropbox domains and preventing the upgrade from going through?

    It did occur to me that it could be my VPN, which I turned off and retried with no change. 

     

    Then I tested the other accounts I manage.  It is not having this problem on ANY of the other dropbox accounts I manage. 

    The others are available to process my payment and not pop up telling me something went wrong.

     

    It is just on this one account.

     

    Why is there not a better tech support system in place for this service?  I AM TRYING TO PAY YOU!!

      What account is your plan on currently according to this page?

       

      Do you see any recent or attempted payments here?

        If this is phishing, they don't want you to think you have paid, because then you would expect it to show up on DB.  Check your bank to ascertain that no money went out.  I would change my password to be safe.  If you can't do that, be in touch with Support from within DB.
