How to Buy Q Coins (Q币) from Overseas with Card or PayPal

Q Coin (Q币) is Tencent's universal currency — QQ memberships, game points, music VIP, streamer gifts, you name it. But from overseas, the official top-up path is a dead end without a Chinese bank card.

This guide shows you how to buy Q Coins from abroad with your local currency — QQ-number direct top-up, payable by credit card or PayPal.

Step 1: Confirm the QQ number

Q Coins land on a QQ number — yours or a family member's. A wrong number means topping up a stranger, so triple-check before submitting.

Step 2: Pick a denomination and order

On the product page choose the denomination — 100, 200, 300 or 500 Q Coins — enter the QQ number, confirm and pay.

Reference denominations (updated Nov 2026 — always follow the live price on the product page):

Credit card and PayPal supported: CNY pricing converted at the real-time rate, and the checkout amount is final.

Step 3: Wait for delivery

The system processes the top-up automatically after payment; check your QQ wallet balance when it lands. If it takes longer than 30 minutes, contact support with your order number.

Payment notes

• Credit cards (Visa / Mastercard etc.) and PayPal both work;
• No Chinese bank card, no QQ password required;
• Everything over HTTPS; payments handled by licensed providers.
