SEK not allowed?

[iGuessImStupid]

Hi! I'm working on a custom payment system and im having some trouble with completing credit card payments.

Im using SEK (Swedish krona) as currency, and that should be working right?

However when i create a request i get a "CURRENCY_NOT_ALLOWED" error. I tried checking the docs about it but all i cand find is the moderately helpful 

Currency is not supported. You are using a currency that is not currently supported.

So is my request wrong, or is it some account setting i have missed?

Im using a Dummy credit card generator, could that change the currency or something?

Update:

It works with EUR and USD, so it seems SEK is not allowed, but the docs are very confusing. Among many separate pages with lists of allowed currencies i found a list of currencies for payments credit card payments (can't even find it typing this, so... no link, sorry) and that was a more limited list.

Now  that list also claimed only "pro uk" accounts could use direct card payments. I hope thats not true, but who knows...

Here's a link to the currency details for direct card payments:

https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/api/currency_codes/#creditcard

The error you are getting could be for a couple reasons, either the seller account is not a card payment support country, as in merchants are not allowed do card payments through PayPal.... or the currency you are using is not support for the card type/merchant country combination.
