Using Google Checkout with money from PayPal

    I'm trying to open a DreamHost account. I can't make a money order and I can't find anyone to buy me a gift card ATM so my only chance is to use Google Checkout.

    The problem is: I have a debit card but Google Checkout doesn't accept it. (I think my country is not supported...) I have money in my PayPal account and I'm looking for a third service to spend my PayPal money through Google Checkout.

    What should I use? Prepaid cards?

    Thanks in advance for your help,
    AlicanC

    Well, for example, I buy a prepaid card with PayPal and use it with Google Checkout.

    The best thing would be withdraw your Paypal funds into your bank account and then upload the same funds back into google checkout account.

    I know the process is a bit tedious and time consuming, but it is the most efficient one....imo

    If it's available for you, you can use the Paypal debit card, and add it to your GCO account. This would be an instantaneous way to use your Paypal balance through GCO.

    I can't get a PayPal Debit Card from my country. If I could that would be the best way though.

    @RightMan
    I can do that, but I don't see a way to upload funds to Google Checkout account. I don't think GCO stores currency, just passes it through.

    Thanks for trying to help. I hope we can find a solution...

    Google Checkout accepts debit cards(I have tried).

    Try to contact DreamHost and tell them you want to pay with Paypal, they will arrange you something(in past hey had Paypal payment option).

    I contacted them, on different days, with different people. They also said they had a brazilian customer having the same problem. I tried it with a virtual card, maybe I should also try with my physical debit cards.

    Edit:
    No, got the same result. I think they only check the country field. Maybe I should fake my country.

    I need a person who can buy me a DreamHost gift certificate. I send money from PayPal and get a gift certificate. It's simple, but I think it's not allowed to ask it on this forum.

    Sadly, I couldn't find anyone to do something like that for me. It's hard to find people, especially people with DreamHost accounts. Google should make a person search engine :)
