Question about Paying for Domains
-
I know that the domains can be bought by Credit Card or by PayPal, Can I use my mother’s credit or PayPal account?? I used it with no problems with GoDaddy before!!

Below are the only accepted means of payment.
WordPress.com uses PayPal as the payment processor, and as such, can only accept payment from countries they support: https://www.paypal.com/worldwide/
If for whatever reason, they have chosen to block payment from your country, you will not be able to purchase an upgrade here unless you have a source of payment outside of your country.
In addition to major credit cards Mastercard, VISA, American Express, Discover, and PayPal https://www.paypal.com/worldwide/ WordPress.com can accept echecks and some debit cards.
The debit card must have a VISA or Mastercard symbol on it, and should work just like a credit card when selecting the VISA or Mastercard option on the payment form, even though it’s a debit card.
More about echecks here:
https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/helpcenter/article/?solutionId=13054&topicID=11500008&m=TCIWordPress.com also accept Bitcoin for payment of certain upgrades ( bitcoin cannot be used for domain and premium theme purchases).

P.S. Asking us to agree with the notion of you using any credit card that’s not in your own name is unethical. No we cannot agree to do that.

Can I use my mother’s credit or PayPal account??
You really shouldn’t. Your mother should be the only one using her credit card and PayPal accounts.

I think she should be in control of the account if her payment information is being used. I would suggest that you add her as a user on the blog so she can control the payments.

If you pretend to be your mother that’s fraud. If she agrees to allow you to pretend to be her that’s collusion in fraud. Fraud and collusion in fraud are legal offences. Fraud is a deception deliberately practiced in order to secure unfair or unlawful gain.
The bottom line here is that you don’t need a domain to have a successful blog here and your mother would have to be a fool if she pandered to your desire to have one and became involved in fraud.

Okay, I will do as designsimply told me, I will add her as a user in the blog and she will do the payments, I will not do something that is bad for her and she will never do something like this, GoDaddy did not tell me to not to do this so, I used her credit, I am not American, Here in Egypt me and two of my friends bought domains before from thier parents accounts, I feel happy that you stopped me from doing a mistake.
-
Which account should I create the blog from, I think I read that the creator only is allowed to buy upgrades??
-
I think you went off the topic at the most important question, Which account should create the blog, Is the founder of the blog the only one that do payments??
-
Any Admin should be able to buy an upgrade for a blog, add your mother and make her an Admin.

Thanks for help and for preventing making a fraud, It is normal thing to use parents cards here in Egypt but, I have to stay in the safe legit way!!
Thanks ;)
