Problem with the purchase of BioWare points

As a topic, when trying to purchase points to buy the DLC for ME 3 it gives me: "The overall error While processing your request error. Please try again later. "

    I had the same problem could not buy an upgrade and I had the same error "The overall error While processing your request error. Please try again later."I solved the problem. I bought Bioware points through https://social.bioware.com There I acquired points, then in Origin I bought DLC. Maybe this can help and I hope it will. The points I bought through PayPal. (sorry for the grammatical errors)

      I've got the same problem, was looking forward to playing ME3 Leviathan DLC, but the usual paypal method of adding the bioware points is no longer available. As I only have a debit card and not a credit card, it looks like theres no way for me to get this at this time.

    The solution was not a solution for me.   I was able to purchase the Bioware points, but still recive the same error on the origin client and the socialbioware site when trying to spend the points on the DLC.

    Buying through EA/Origin also has it's Problems. I bought 800 Bioware points and got the same error message on 11/15/2014 and the problem has not been fixed yet today is 12/02/2014 I can not use the points. I called EA/Bioware and was told "The problem is being looked at by the Tech. department.

      This problem has been going on for quite awhile now. I've contacted tech support several times and the answer is always the same:"We're working on it." Hate to say it, but it may never get solved. I'm sure I'm with many players who have bioware points they are unable to spend.

    This problem has resurfaced in Feb 2016.

    EA support could only suggest I buy an EA cash card!  They would not answer my direct question of "Why is Paypal not working?"

    This solution works.  Thanks, suggest this be bumped up and EA needs a kick up the BUM to sort it out.  Their product support crew in Bombay also needs to be told.
