Hello Sean

Thank you for your email. I am going to use my debit card to make the purchase when I get the refund.

This is Sean, I hope that you can still buy the items you needed.

The transaction with paypal was rejected because you used a VPN to make the purchase and we don’t accept Paypal as a payment method in all countries.

We are sorry for any inconvenience

Best Regards

Sean Smith
