  Howdy –

  I’ve added the premium plan to your account and have emailed a payment form where you should be able to use the bank card. Write back if that does not work or if you do not receive the email. Thanks.

  Hi. Thanks, i really appreciate the response. Sorry for the confusion; i dont have a credit card. What i do have is a paypal account that is linked to a bank account.

  1. Is there a way that a request for payment can be sent directly to my paypal account? Email is (email visible only to moderators and staff)

  2. had already added the premium plan to my cart using the coupon code SCIENCE which is still in my cart totalling $81.60 Usd may i use this please..

  3.I claimed the domain scubamafia.net which only appears in the previous order in my cart, not in the subscription you have processed. May I use this domain please.

  4. The subscription appears to already be triggered,however i have not paid yet. Just making sure you realise this. I really just want to pay and start playing!

  Sorry for all the details. Thanks again.

  Hi there,

  It’s not possible to pay using PayPal if you don’t have a card connected to the PayPal account. This is a requirement on their end for subscription-based payments, and not something we can do anything about. Apparently they even require this if you have a positive balance in the PayPal account itself.

  Do you have a debit card? Our payment form accepts both debit and credit card payments.

  Else your bank might also sell pre-paid credit cards – those can also be used to pay for WordPress.com upgrades.

  Hi there,

  I don’t understand how this is sorted? I’m still seeing the manual payment we send you as unpaid.
