  I’m trying to upgrade my blog to a premium blog and pay the 80 euros via Paypal. I put the money on my paypal account but now it is asking me for a creditcard number, and I don’t have one. I only have Paypal to pay with. Is it not possible to pay with Paypal without having to give a credit card number?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Below are the only accepted means of 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.

  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 ( 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/

  I only have Paypal to pay with. Is it not possible to pay with Paypal without having to give a credit card number?

  For some purchases, PayPal does require that a credit card to be associated with it. Have you tried purchasing a pre-paid credit card and using that number?

  Hi there – I see you’ve purchased the Premium upgrade now – wonderful! Are you all set with this now?

  I’m not, I payed for it and then I tried to change my domain but something happened with the website and now it’s gone. I filled in everything they asked me, I was clicking on “edit DNS” ’cause I’d read that I’d have to do that and then nothing. It all just deleted by itself and I can’t get it back.
  So I’m still stuck with the .wordpress.com domain and the Premium Upgrade won’t let me change it. I want to change it in to elgalgoforever.com but now it says that that domain is already taken (I assume by me since that appeared right after it all vanished). And there is nothing I can do. I’ve tried loads of things!
  I hope you can help me, because I don’t know what to do!
  Do I cancel and ask for a refund? And then try it all over again? Or do I just wait it out?

  I hope you respond to this soon,
  Thank you in advance!

  NEVER MIND! I just tried everything again and it worked! I didn’t have to pay, I am now active!
  I AM REALLY HAPPY!
  So you can ignore the last post!

  YAY!

  Hi there – Wonderful! Yep, sometimes it takes a little bit for the new domain to work properly. :)
