You can certainly add value to a Mobicarte online from outside the country using a credit card. However the card needs to be one from a French bank (or maybe those from some neighbouring EU countries will work as well). But non-EU cards typically will not be accepted.

If you really, really need the credit added before you get there you can buy top-up vouchers from ebay sellers, but you'll often have to pay above face value.

Or just go to one of the Relay stores at CDG and buy a top-up there when you arrive. Or any tabac.
