maybe try a virtual credit card? I have never used one and would be wary, but it is worth a look
territory restrictions are proof positive that labels are fucking idiots.

is circumventing a territory restriction like downloading music illegally?
i mean, youre still paying, but you werent supposed to be able to anyway.

It's a regional issue - not PayPal or credit card. Also common with purchases from South Africa and is due to copyright restrictions. There is no way around it. Try Juno - sometimes the copyright differs and it will go through. Some labels however are restricted on both sites.
(PS - worse on Amazon in Africa - with gear, books, kindle download and music!)

But you're still using Paypal so Paypal tells them where you're from. And since you more than likely have your Visa tied to your home address it will probably also tell them where you're from.

territorial restrictions on a track are the one thing that makes me go the pirate route occasionally*... I want to listen to it and play it to my crowds - and because I respect the amount of work put into any decent track, of course I want to pay for it! but then I'm being denied a purchase? as in, I want to give you money for your release and you don't want to sell it to me because you're trying to draw BORDERS on the fucking INTERNET!? FUCK YOU. I'm getting this track one way or another
*) by "occasionally" I mean that less than 1% of the tracks in my active collection were not obtained legally because there was no way for me to do it :/
Thanks everyone for trying to help but it didn't work in any way with beatport.
I found most of the tracks on junodownload.com and my credit card works just fine there.
