Can't buy the Yogscast bundle with paypal

Question

Hey guys, this is what I have been dealing with all day. I don't know if this belongs here(didn't find anything about this in rules), but I am hopeless right now. I just can't get the paypal payment on the Yogscast bundle to work. I have submitted a support ticket on humble bundle, but they will answer in about 4 working days (not even talking about resolving the issue) and I am affraid of the bundles running out. So has anybody encountered this and resolved this? I don't have any other option of payment than paypal btw. Thanks for any suggestions.

Is this your first donation towards this bundle (i.e. you haven't donated $5 and $5 again and are now trying to buy the bundle properly)?

What is the error (if any) that you get?

Is your PayPal linked to your bank account? If not, make sure there's enough money on your PayPal (put $5 extra on it to be sure because of fees).

Yeah this is my first donation, I am just trying to buy the bundle as a whole. Sorry for not posting this picture, I forgot: https://imgur.com/zF6lIbT My paypal has enough money on it (about 45 dollars) and is linked to my bank account, I don't have a credit card though.

Are you from another country, not UK. As its a little over 45 dollars in Aus.

Yeah, I am from Czech republic, but I don't think that this is the issue, because it says in the final paypal checkout that it will take 794,6czk (czech currency) from my account and I have 838czk in my account.

If support doesn't come through faster than i'm not really sure there is much to do besides keep trying the paypal every 2 hours or something, or see if you can get someone else to pay for it. There are a lot of donations going through and the new monthly bundle just came out, so Humble may be backed up a bit. Try in a bit, maybe after the stream ends.

Explain more, what do you mean you cant get into paypal? Like the bundle payment won't go through. I'm assuming you have enough balance to buy it. Try linking your account via the Humble Bundle account settings page, but other than that I doubt it is Humble's fault. Either try in a bit of time or try to contact paypal. If it gets desperate you could try borrow a friend or family members credit card and pay them back.

Sorry for not making this clear in the first post, I will add the error message: https://imgur.com/zF6lIbT I have tried linking my paypal to my humble account but it wants me to add a credit card (I dont have one) and I have enough in my paypal.
