    If you are referring to purchasing a plan found here https://wordpress.com/pricing/ please read what follows.

    The only accepted means of payment are in this support doc.
    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:
    https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/helpcenter/article/?solutionId=13054&topicID=11500008&m=TCI

    NOTE: Payments for WordPress.com subscriptions are recurring you will still need a card connected to your PayPal account, even if you have funds in that account. See also: Payments Using a PayPal Account
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/payment/#payments-using-a-paypal-account

    If you have a valid card that meets the criteria above post the exact error message you receive here then type modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread for Staff help.

    Hi there,

    I see that you have successfully purchased a Personal plan and the domain marchforsciencestpete.org. Do you still need any help?
