market crashes on pay apps

Not sure if I am missing something painfully obvious here.

I have only tried ONE so far but any free app download and installs fine but the first "pay" app I tried to get (where it has a blue button with the price instead of the word download)

CRASHES market. a "force close or report" dialog appears. I tried 3 times same response all 3 times.

am I missing something? have to do something first? I did not want to try any other pay apps till I figured out if I was missing something really obvious.

Uhm... odd?

I haven't purchased an app in a while, but when I bought Titanium Backup off the Market, no problems. Perhaps the way the Market sees your phone is causing issues. Might want to try Market Enabler or some such app that will allow you to spoof how your device appears on the Market.

I can not use market enabler. it required busybox which I can not install.

I got the apps I wanted "by other means" but I would really prefer to "pay" for them. I mean they are so cheap and its just "right"

so if anyone has a solution???

I have tried a few others. any "pay" app crashes the market app.

Is this the new Market or the old Market...?

Could be an issue with the new Market is you shoehorned that in thar.

Hmmm good point (its the new market). I never tried with the old market so I don't know.

Just an FYI. I found out I can goto the market on the regular computer and successfully buy apps via my regular computer and it darned near instantly sends them to the phone (push really rocks)

plus its a lot more convenient browsing on the pc versus the phone.
