  Hello,
  I was wondering if you could help me. I was just registering my blog for it’s own domain and privacy but my debit card was declined twice on wordpress.
  I have phoned my bank but they have told me that it has not came up on their system about my card being declined.
  If anyone could help, that would be much appreciated.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Below are the only accepted means of payment.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/payment/

  WordPress.com uses PayPal as the payment processor, and as such, can only accept payment from countries they support: https://www.paypal.com/worldwide/

  If for whatever reason, they have chosen to block payment from your country, you will not be able to purchase an upgrade here unless you have a source of payment outside of your country. Note: You can buy a prepaid credit card from an approved country.

  In addition to major credit cards Mastercard, VISA, American Express, Discover, and PayPal https://www.paypal.com/worldwide/ WordPress.com can accept echecks and some debit cards.

  The debit card must have a VISA or Mastercard symbol on it, and should work just like a credit card when selecting the VISA or Mastercard option on the payment form, even though it’s a debit card.

  More about echecks here:

  Thank you,
  I don’t have a paypal so used my debit card but it fitted with all the criteria you mentioned above.
  I might open a paypal account tomorrow and see if it works that way but if not then I will have to get help from the mod/staff.
  Thank you again.
