Default UK T-Mobile Pay-As-You-Go online top-up from USA

I live in USA. I just bought UK T-Mobile Pay-As-You-Go SIM card on eBay.
Will it be possible to top-up online via T-Mobile UK website? My credit card
is issued by US bank and I don't have UK address

That probably depends as much on your bank as anything else. I
frequently use my UK credit card on USAnian and French web stores.
You will need a card with a CVV2 security code (see
http://www.21club.com/web/oe/oe_c0a_card_security.jsp, for example).

Then, check this bit from T-mobile's web site:

"First, you'll need to register your credit or debit card details in
My T-Mobile. Topping up is part of the card registration process.

Next time you need credit, simply log in to My T-Mobile and select
'Top up now'.

Make sure you have a registered card handy because you'll need to
enter the last four digits and the three-digit security code on the
back.

Tip: When you register a card, our system checks whether the address
you entered when you signed up to My T-Mobile matches the card billing
address. If the addresses don't match, the maximum you'll be able to
top up online in a 30-day period is £30.

If you want to top up more, register a card with a billing address
that matches the address in our records."

They clearly limit casual top-ups.
Why do you want to do this? do you travel to the UK? If so, you don't
need to use a credit card. You should have got a magnetic "swipe"
card with the sim that can be used to top it up for cash at loads of
retail outlets, or in bank cash dispenser machines.

I hope that you didn't pay much for the SIM. They are only 50p ($1)
each, and sometimes free, from the T-Mobile UK web site.
I'm not using T-Mobile PAYG, currently, but I have just received a
free SIM from them. With the SIM is a top up card. What you do with
these, well with the Orange ones anyway, usually, is take them to a
participating store, garage etc., pay them some case and they swipe
the card. Then you phone is automatically topped up. Thus no need for
a credit card. If you don't have a topup card then they are usually
obtainable free from the same places where you top up.
I think that you have chosen the right SIM for PAYG. 12p/ minute to
all networks and, if you pay £20 you get 20% more credit, making the
calls just less than 10p/minute.

Typo: For 'pay them some case' read 'pay them some cash'
