    Payment without credit card

    Hey,

    I am from Germany, and I would like to buy a Thurrott Premium membership. However, I don´t have a Credit card, they are not as common in Germany as in the US. 

    I do have a PayPal account. However, when I tried to buy the subscription for Thurrott Premium, I couldn´t because you need to have a credit card registered with PayPal. I only have my normal bank account conntected with PayPal. 

    Is there any way to buy the subscription without a credit card, or are there maybe plans to add another method of payment? Its very frustrating for me, as I would like to pay for the Premium account, but I can´t.
