??? Why can some CHARS purchase items...

...and others cannot from the same account?

I thought perhaps the CHAR in question doesn't have free bag slots available.

NOPE!
Checked the ones blocked and they have free bag slot space available.

Of the 10 CHARS I have in my account, 5 can buy the items in question and 5 cannot.

Very curious...

    What are the items in question? For instance, you can't get a Heavy Weapon unless your toon has Heavy Weapons powers. A Glacier AT can't use a gun of any sort. And so on.

    If you mean a Z-Store item, well, again, which item(s)?

    You should be a LOT more specific about what items your are talking about.

    When I've run into this, it's because the characters in question have the first bag slot filled or no room in the first bag. Something like that.

    There was a bug that you could only by some items if the first slot in the main bag was free. I went and moved an item and it worked. Might give that a shot.

    It's a Z-Store (left forefinger keeps drifting to the C on the keyboard) item and its the Freeform Bags.

    Some newly created and older characters cannot, whereas other newly created and older characters can "purchase" the item.
    Another bit of detail, this is from the browser based Z-Store and not in-game.

    Another bit of detail is the Char that has the most Drifter Salvage is the char I want to use and I can't. Very frustrating to say the least.

    EDIT: IN-game works...but not from the Browser.....very interesting....

    The web browser is HORRIBLY unreliable. Even Cryptic has come out and advised purchases are best made in game.

    The browser method to purchase things is (always has been) a bit messed up. I don't trust the thing myself at all.

    Whenever I want to buy something from the Z/C Store, I do it ingame. Always.

    I used the Browser C store for almost all of my account bound purchases,everything's gone through so far.I just buy it,log in,and its there.

    Congrats, I didn't say broken. Only unreliable. Cryptic also never said don't use it. Only that In game transactions have been less problematic for them.

    The OP was having a problem. The reasons for the problem was explained. Simply because it has not yet happened to you, changes his problem....how?

    Same. And use the toon you want to have the item.
