@Glynwill sounds like you're the victim of a gltich of some kind.  People are asking about the purchase because it's a very common issue people think they've purchased it but all they've done is the first step to top up their balance.  It sounds like you've done everything right.  The message back from Public Mobile indicates their system isn't recognizing the add-ons correctly, which sounds like a glitch.  It's rare but it happens.  Unfortunately the moderator team is still extremely backlogged, which is why you're not hearing back yet.  Unfortunately I don't think there's much else you can do at this point.

Of course

Have you tried manually selecting one of the partner carriers?  I've not used the addons myself, so I'm not sure which US partners they are.

[Glynwill]

After crediting my account with $20 and then ordering the add on costing $20, naturally my account balance is now $0

How much available funds does it show in your account now? - Listed at the top of the main overview page

[Glynwill]

Aware of all that 

Many thanks anyway

[Glynwill]

Yes of course I did the two step process and the payment is listed in my “payment history”

I have tried troubleshooting by messaging the moderators but had no response 

Cheers

Ensure your roaming is activated in self-serve as mentioned above, it's two steps.  First to add the funds, then the same thing again to add the addon.

Also, make sure your phones are both enabled to allow roaming, as you're outside of Canada.  If they're not enabled, it will not work.

@Glynwill@Did you do the two step process?  Do you have available funds? Is yes then purchase the add-on. It will take it from available funds not your credit card

If the add-on show in self-serve then you need to troubleshoot. Ie are you on correct cell  partner
