It's sometimes tricky to top-up a German SIM card from abroad using a foreign funding source. Prelado.de still accepts PayPal. They wouldn't be allowed to advertise with the logo otherwise. Either it's a technical bug or as some users from overseas have reported, that they needed a positive balance on the PayPal account for the recharge to go through. A link to an overseas credit card may not be enough.

Alternatively, you can try Telekom's own top-up site without a surcharge. They seem to accept PayPal now and credit cards. But German providers are very picky about cards from overseas.

Of course there are 3rd party top-up sites that do the recharge for a fee: In Germany aufladen.de and guthaben.de both accept PayPal. But they are in German only. Another internatl. agency is for instance ezetop for a higher fee. Take your chances.....
