It’s possible to bypass the Origin purchase error issue and this is how!

So this is not usually the sort of content I post on the blog, but I make the rules, right?! This is something I’ve been annoyed by for the LONGEST time and I found a fix, so I thought I’d share it with you all.
If, like me, you haven’t been able to purchase on Origin for quite some time (good old EA), then hopefully the fix I found works for you!
(I mainly use my Origin account to purchase The Sims games. I will not be judged. It’s how I like to spend my leisure time. Ahem.)
