  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 or pay in Bitcoin.

  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 don’t have a credit or debit card. I do have a PayPal account. I have it linked to a bank account. I was able to pay that way last time. When I just tried to pay, it kept asking for the either a credit or debit card. It didn’t give any options to find the bank account.

  PS: There was no money in the PayPal account, so I moved some into the PayPal account. When it clears, will the PayPal/WordPress page give me the option to pay with that?

  Many thanks for the advice, guys. I finally found another screen with details to be filled in, and after that, voila!
  It’s really good to know there is good support available, so thanks again for those who responded.
