  As Nigeria is not listed, does that mean I can not upgrade my blog?

  We use PayPal as our payment processor, and as such, we can only accept payment from countries they support: https://www.paypal.com/worldwide/

  For whatever reason, they have chosen to block payment from your country, so you will not be able to purchase an upgrade here unless you have a source of payment outside of it

  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:

  No it means you have to use an alternate method of payment. See what’s available above please.

  Use Bitcoin. It is not geolocated, while credit cards are.

  NOTE: Bitcoin cannot be used to purchase either domain mapping which is included in the bundle, or premium themes which are not included in the bundle at this time.

  Oh really? That’s very odd…and very interesting.

  That’s why I did not post that alternative. See this thread https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/why-cant-i-pay-for-a-theme-in-using-bitcoin?replies=7#post-1097469

  Thanks for the responses. Really appreciate it. An echeck won’t work for me; money transfers frustrate me and I hate the wait. So I decided I will ask a relative resident in one of the listed countries to pay on my behalf. I think it’s unfortunate that certain countries are barred – in the end, one has to ask , “what’s the point in upgrading?” Thanks anyway.

  P.S. Have you read this comparison?
  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  There is no upgrade you can purchase from WordPress.com that changes anything at all stated there.
