Hi everyone,
I am from India.

I have a valid VISA credit card.

I wish to make purchase of a particular software from a USA website.

The particluar USA website only accepts payment through paypal.

So i tried to make payment through paypal by visiting link on USA website.

But when clicked on link it says i need to register first on paypal.

i registered with paypal.

But then spending limit is $ 0 inspite of the fact that i have added my credit card.

I am as a result unable to understand what I am doing wrong or missing.

Can some good soul be kind enough to explain in simple plain english why i am not able to make payment.

thanks in advance

anticipating your much awaited reply,

regards, sunando

You can make payment by your credit card through paypal only if you have a business or corporate account with paypal otherwise you need to have funds in your paypal account to make any kind of payment.
I hope this helps you.

Well you see earlier paypal used to allow only payment through the funds which were held in its account.This credit card option is a new feature introduced and that only for the business accounts.So I think the only option open for you is that ask someone who has money in his/her paypal account to make the payment and you can pay that person what ever method suits him/her.
