    Just add the CC to paypal. No your cc wont charge you extra but if you have a balance in your Paypal account paypal will always take that first before charging the CC for the balance.
  • Just bear in mind that your purchase isn't covered under section 75 when you pay with your cc via paypal....
  • Just to confirm I use my Tesco CC with Paypal with no problems whatsoever.
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare
  • Out of interest I want to pay for something with paypal using my tesco credit card too, but I already have paypal linked to my bank account AND have my debit card linked to the paypal account. How can I just have paypal take money from the credit card and not my bank account?

    Add the card and make it the primary source of funds.
