Hi,   I'm bases in Hong Kong and therefore have a HK PayPal account. I started selling my own offers and use PayPal for collecting PayPal payments and Stripe for collecting credit card payments.   I'd like to switch completly to PayPal. Which means I'd like to collect credit card payments with my HK PayPal account.   When somebody wants to pay with a HK ip address then PayPal offers him the option to pay via credit or debit card. But when a user from Germany wants to pay then he doesn't get the option to pay via credit card. He only gets the option to either login to their PayPal account or create a PP account.   How can I enable credit and debit card payments for Germany and other EU countries?   Thanks ... View more

Hi,   I'm based in Hong Kong and therefore have a Hong Kong PayPal account.   Recently I started selling my own digital offers via the internet. Many of my customers are from Germany and Austria. I used to collect their PayPal payments with my HK PayPal account and Stripe for the credit card payments. But now I'd like to collect even the credit card payments with PayPal. Therefore I have upgraded my account to business status. After implementing the PayPal Button on the chechout page and testing the button I realized that I can only collect credit card payments in Hong Kong but not Germany. The PayPal form asks the user to either login to PayPal or to create an PayPal account while in Hong Kong people can either login or pay per credit card.   Is there a way to enable credit card payments for Germany too? Thanks ... View more
