WCF Ajax Call not working with Jquery $.ajax

I have the following jQuery (service name altered):

var url = "http://localhost/services/MyService.svc/addentrant";
var stuff = $("#signup-form").serializeArray();

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: url,
    contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
    data: stuff,
    timeout: 10000,
    success: function (obj) { alert('yay!'); }
});

The above makes a request to a WCF service hosted in Sitefinity on my local IIS7.5 server. Below is the relevant web.config:

<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior name="jsonBehavior">
  <webHttp/>
</behavior>
...
<serviceBehaviors>
        <behavior name="DefaultBehavior">
          <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
        </behavior>
...
<services>
 <service behaviorConfiguration="DefaultBehavior" name="Services.MyService" >
        <endpoint address="" behaviorConfiguration="jsonBehavior" binding="webHttpBinding" contract="Services.IMyService" bindingConfiguration=""/>
        <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange"/>
 </service>
...

Finally, the interface and implementation of MyService:

[ServiceContract(Name = "MyService", Namespace = "http://myservice.com/services/2010/")]
public interface IMyService
{
    [OperationContract,
    WebInvoke(Method = "POST",
              ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,
              BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.WrappedRequest,
              UriTemplate = "addentrant")]
    void AddEntrant(string firstName);
}
...
[AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]
public class MyService : IMyervice
{
...
    public void AddEntrant(string firstName)
    {
        Entrant entrant = new Entrant()
        {
            FirstName = firstName,
        };
        context.Entrants.InsertOnSubmit(entrant);
        context.SubmitChanges();
    }
}

I think that's everything. Anyway, the $.ajax call returns a success, but the web service method was not being called (I had a breakpoint set). I opened up Fiddler and found I was being given a 405: Method Not Allowed. I've seen that before, but only when I had forgotten to set up the method to allow POST requests. I'm very confused as to why it is doing this now.

Also, oddly enough, if I clone the ajax request captured in Fiddler, I get the following:

Just the header, no request body to speak of.

What happens if you try to use GET instead of POST?

Try clearing your cache or appending a timestamp to the url - the 200 response code may have been cached by the browser

Another thing to try is not setting the contentType in your $.ajax call and use dataType: "json" instead.

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: url,
    dataType: "json",
    data: stuff,
    timeout: 10000,
    success: function (obj) { alert('yay!'); }
});
