Unable to pay an out of country purchase.

I have tried about 5 times over the last 5 days to make a payment to this seller out of Algeria. The seller says there have been several problems with buyers in other countries making payments. MY INFO is correct!  I use PayPal all the time, buying and selling. The seller says that his info is correct!  Where is the problem? I am guessing it is with PayPal. Now it looks like I am slacking paying for the item!! Annoying.
I am getting these Alerts:
''Your recipient is not able to receive funds at this time. Your recipient must first set up his or her account to receive funds.''
''We're sorry, but we can't ship your order to the address shown on the previous page. We can ship to the address shown below, or you can click Change to choose a different address.''
Grrr.

Double check the email address you are sending the payment to.

 

What currency are you using? If not his currency then he may not be able to receive your currency.

 

How are you funding the payment?

I talked with PayPal customer service and she said, after about 25 min, that the best they could offer me was to try a different credit card.  I have only one card.  Oh, well!

Thank you for your input............

I didn't clarify.  It is an ebook I am talking about.  A small thing, but big to me as it could look like I don't want to pay!

It could be Algeria.

Some Indian banks do not do business with Paypal anymore and India has foreign exchange control,they dont want Indians to convert their rupees into gold or dollar,or move it out of the country as it weakens the rupees.

Where do you get India and Rupees from? Algeria is in North Africa towards the west, by Spain & Portugal.
