1st thing that usually comes into the mind of people that might be some one else has booked it earlier and order is in process.The other confusing thing, there is no button or link their to contact the support. so whom to contact ? and if you search this error message on Google then you will see on Google help forum many people have reported this issue. Some people suggest that it can be resolved by deleting the cookies of browser and try again while some suggest that you have to wait for week, 2 week or may be three week until you can process it again. Actually when somebody move back or close the order before checking out (payment) its goes in Google Application system and its start showing that there is existing order so deleting cookies of the browser or trying other things is not going to do anything . Until unless the Google Apps system don't come to know the order has not been completed yet , the error message will remain there.That's why some people suggest after X days i was able to register so you have to wait for X time or days to try again .
