  Hi, I think timethief just answered this question on the forum:

  I’m so sorry but your country Nigeria is not a PayPal supported country.

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

  PayPal 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 your 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:

  WordPress.com also accepts Bitcoin for payment of certain upgrades ( bitcoin cannot be used for domain and premium theme purchases) – you can learn more here: http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2012/11/15/pay-another-way-bitcoin/

  You are right. I answered this question 1 hour ago in the first thread that was posted here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/my-country-isnt-listed?replies=2#post-1489158
