Q: I need a workaround to use the apple store with paypal on a non-us account.

I need to buy an application from the Apple Store and I want to use my paypal account.

 

I don't live in the USA so I haven't such option at the first glance.

I tried to buy a gift card but on the payment screen it says "White Gift Card cannot be bought using Paypal".

 

I need a workaround.

Thanks

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), null

    You will have to use something other than PayPal. You need a credit card to purchase an iTunes Gift Card.

     

    The PayPal account has to have a credit card linked to it.

    And that’s how a company drive his customers to look for alternatives.


    Apple should offer Paypal payment to all his customers worldwide and not only a single country (US).

    And to let Apple know how you feel about that, you need to use the feedback link here, http://www.apple.com/feedback

    This is a user to user support forum, and Apple does not participate here. They won't know you feel like they should change policy.
