My card worked fine last night around 7pm when shopping and I came home and tried to purchase this book around 10pm and now nothing. I am hoping someone else has had this problem and not just me. This is my only bank account. It is a weekend of course (doesn't all important things happen on weekends or holidays?) so I can't call them or visit but I do plan to be there tomorrow morning first thing to find out what has happened.

I'm wondering if you got this the wrong way round - the reason Kobo and Paypal couldn't action your card was because it had already been flagged by your bank after the 7pm purchase.
It sounds like that purchase may have been the trigger.
