PayPal payments officially available

By My status Jaanus on May 27, 2005 in Skype Beta and new releases.

We started PayPal payments beta testing in USA on February 18 and shortly followed with other countries. Today, we're happy to [announce](http://www.skype.com/company/news/2005/paypal.html) that the beta has been completed successfully and PayPal is now officially available as a payment method for buying Skype services. So when you now go to [Skype web store](http://www.skype.com/go/store) and PayPal is supported in your country, you can safely choose this option to complete your payment.

PayPal in Skype web store is available for [all countries (currently more than 45)](https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_display-approved-signup-countries-outside) where PayPal itself provides its services.

as far as i found Lithuania is mentioned in the list of countries, where paypal provides its services. I have an account in paypal, but when i'm trieing to add money to my skype account, there is only moneybookers paying metod.
It would be great, if this would be fixed.

HELP. I want to buy more credits for SkypeOut using paypal but can't find out how to do this. Where the heck is your paypal site? I ALWAYS have this problem because you guys do a very good job of hiding it and it is frustrating as all hell.

A link to a site with requirements would be more useful than a straight download link ...

This doesn't work unless you have .Net 1 installed.
I have .Net 2 installed.

why dont buy credit paypal?

The FAQ doesn't point out what we all want to know. What's the problem with paying for more than one Skype account with Paypal? Why the limitation? I run a business and want a personal Skype account I can use for selected contacts as well as a business account I can use for anyone to see me. Do I need to have more than one Paypal account to accomplish this? Why have you enforced this limitation?

Hello,
I've just purchase € 10.00 of credit using my paypall account but Skype charged me € 11.50 instead? Why the extra charge? Please advise.
Thx.

I do not have a visa card and would like to add credit to my Skypeout account by bank (internet) transfer. Is this possible?

If not what is the alternative?
