  How to buy the credits thru paypal? Is there any easiest way to changed my domain – removing “wordpress” in the the url name? Suppose I dont have a paypal account, then what is the best way to purchase the credits to change the domain? Thanks.

  The only means of payment here at wordpress.com is paypal. If you do not have it then you are out of luck.

  I would suggest that you contact support as they are the only ones that can answer this for you: http://wordpress.com/contact-support/ (Mon-Fri 8am-4pm Pacific time) or using the “support” button in the upper right of your dashboard.

  If you have a credit card, setting up a paypal account is not hard. You can go to: http://www.paypal.com for details.

  Hello thesacredpath,
  FYI this issue has arisen before. It was made clear that paypal is the only means of payment that wordpress uses for any upgrades and, it was also made clear that this is not about to change.

  You can register a domain without using paypal through many different web domain registration sites, but you will still need paypal to purchase the mapping here even with a domain from outside, so that is your only option for now.
