I want to purchase a domain at GoDaddy and would like to pay it via PayPal because I don't have a debit card or any of those cards. I was new to PayPal and so, I registered there. Since I don't have any cards, my only option is via the Bank account and unfortunately, the feature is not available in my country. I was so disappointed. I would not create debit cards because I just turned 18 and still 'fresh' with these bank services. I just only want to buy the domain. GoDaddy had stopped the Gift Cards feature. What should I do now to purchase the domain is a safe way?
Hello, PayPal has restrict adding Paypal credit via Bank account to some countries due to numerous reasons (high fraud etc), you can look for other registrars that allow other forms of alternative methods like Payza, 2CheckOut or Western Union etc.
I prefer western Union. I'm not aware about other options but before go ahead take advice from experts which are available here. Thanks.
wester union could be expensive if your reason to buy godaddy service because of its cheap price. i used to ask help my online buddy to buy it for me, then i transfered money through bank transfer, in my cash was cheap because we are in the same country.
by the way you are from brunei darussalam? ask your friend from indonesia or malaysia to pay go daddy service through paypal, then send the money to your friend through liberty reseve. it's not costly.
you can open a bankaccount at HDFC bank and apply for a platinum debitcard...HDFC provides a netsafe card or virtual creditcard and that can be used to pay via paypal..
Frankly Paypal sucks, but most of us are stuck with it because everyone wants to use it..It's great if you're just an online consumer and only buy. Interestingly I noticed a Paypal option yesterday at a small store on their credit card swiper at the register..I thought that was funny. Had never seen that before.
Have you tried applying for a paypal debit card? I believe you can create a paypal account and receive a debit card without adding a bank account or CC to the account. You should then be able to use your paypal debit card as your secondary payment method. Their system's don't recognize that it's their own card that your adding. That's what i did.
There are many other good hosting & domain providers which provide you other payment options, like MoneyBookers, PayPal Balance, Payza and western union etc. I know some of them, you can go to namecheap, they allow you to upload your PayPal balance, if you have any, and then make purchase from that. One provider i know is alfainhost, I guess they are providing more than 10 different payment options. Hope it will help you!
Hydha is right. You don't need to stick to godaddy. There are other registrars, as well as other payment options.
