Itunes & Paypal - Australia

Hello, I am aware that this subject has been brought up many times, but here is my case:

I have read on the Australian Apple website ( http://www.apple.com/au/support/itunes/store/paypal/) that you CAN link your itunes account to paypal.

Thing is, I created my account on Itunes via a giftcard, and wish to get to paypal instead of having to buy giftcards all the time!

The australian support website from apple states that you have to "Click Edit Credit Card or Add Credit Card to access your payment method preferences."

Having an account with no linked credit card (as I do not own any), is it actually possible for me to link my Itunes account to my Paypal one?

If yes, please do explain me the way to do it, I appreciate that.

If PayPal is indeed working as a payment method, here's how you'd change to using PayPal (the terminology used may be slightly different in the Australian iTunes Store) :

1) Log into your iTunes Store account

2) Click "Edit Payment Method"

3) Select PayPal as your preferred method of payment in the list next to "Credit Card".

Regards.

The only payment method i can see are Visa, Master Card, American Express and None. No Paypal no-where... am I on the wrong page?

Check out the information here:

http://www.apple.com/au/support/itunes/store/creditcard/

and confirm that you're looking in the right place; it should be in the place I mentioned, but I can't get into the Australian iTunes Store to check, so things might be slightly different. If PayPal is indeed not appearing as an option for you, contact the iTunes Store customer service group through the form at the bottom of that web page. They should be able to tell you how to activate it.

Good luck.
