  We were seeing some issues with Paypal a few days ago. Can you try making the purchase again? Let me know if you’re still unable to make the purchase.

  Dear all,
  I just tried and I still couldn’t use my paypal balance, but I have enough balance to upgrade domain. It still asked me to insert credit or debit card.
  I already contacted paypal, they said it caused by wordpress already make setting only credit / debit card can upgrade no matter I have balance or not.
  Please kindly help me if I can upgrade domain without inserting credit / debit card.

  Thanks for clarifying! We do require a credit or debit card be associated with the Paypal account, especially for domain purchases.

  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
