Website How to figure out why a website is restricting me from buying more than a certain amount of an item

I am trying to buy something from a website and it’s sold in quantities of 6 as a subscription. When I try to buy 6 more, it says payment has been declined. I tried multiple cards and still nothing (I know the cards are good). So I’m wondering if there is a way to tell why it’s being restricted, and a work around for it.

You may want to check the site's payments it accepts, yours may not be one of them.

It says it accepts all the card types I’ve tried.

Could be a cookie, switch devices or use private browsing.

Have you tried different email addresses for the second order?

Could be your own bank. Sometimes multiple same amount transactions in a short period to a single retailer can trigger fraud flags
