  Below are the only accepted means of payment.
  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:

  As it seems that you may have a card from a supported country that does meet the criteria above, I will type modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread for Staff help.

  Hi there,

  How can I pay for a website if the town doesn’t have a credit card or a paypal account?

  In order to purchase an upgrade on WordPress.com, you will need one of the following: a debit card, a credit card or a PayPal account.
