No trustworthy payment method? Just wanted to buy a theme, but... no thanks. Never thought this could exist in 2016!

When you are in the checkout page there will be your personal info and below that TWO tabs:

  1. PayPal + $2 handling fee

  2. Envato Credit

Most likely it is defaulting on option 2 which is why you are being made to add credit.

Click on the PayPal logo on the left hand side and it will change to the direct payment + $2 handling then assuming your file costs $52.80 you can buy it for $54.80 (tax dependent) rather than needing to deposit $60.
