Points to Note

Intimate your bank when you decide to use your credit cards. Your bank might have restricted international payments on your credit card due to security reasons. Informing the bank in advance enables them to remove the restrictions and allow you to pay the amount.

PayPal usually uses servers located out of Australia. Hence, you should exercise greater care when using the PayPal route.
