  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.

  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 accept Bitcoin for payment of certain upgrades http://en.support.wordpress.com/?s=bitcoin

  I am using Payoneer MasterCard….It has a MasterCard logo.
  I have been using this card in my country and on the internet for many months….
  I dont know why I cant use it on wordpress.
  Paypal is blocked in my country but MasterCard is too common.

  We use PayPal for all of our payment processing, despite the type of payment used. If your card’s issuing bank is located in a country PayPal does not support, we are unable to accept payment from that card.
