Where can I use Paypal?

Are there any other retailers that I can pay with paypal? I want some CD's and sick to death of them being more expensive on Ebay. I have got money to spend in my paypal account but there is no way I am paying £14.99 + P&P for it when it is only £8.99 and free p+p with play.com
Thanks

    why not draw out money from paypal to your bank account then use your debit card to buy CDs cheaply from Play or CD wow?

    I only have £30 in there, don't you have to pay to withdraw under £50? Also never done it before, not sure what you have to do.

    It will cost you 25p to withdraw amounts under £50. If you already have your bank account linked all you need to do is hit the tab 'withdraw' at the top of your paypal page and follow the instructions. It can take up to 5 working days to reach your nominated account, even a day or two longer sometimes.

  • If buying CDs on Ebay don't go for Buy it Now ones, but instead the auctions as they go for a snip on them if you can find the one you are looking for.

    Bit embarressing, but it's for a xmas present! Looking for Lazy Town CD with bonus DVD, could only see this on Ebay at buy it now.
    Thanks though.
    Just thought it would be good to know other retailers too. Anyone know of anymore?

    Sorry. can't help you out with those ones. On ebay I tend to automatically weed out items on BIN and only use the auctions as many of the BINs are overpriced and things can go for a lot less on the auctions. This is not always the case though and I have done a lot of Xmas shopping on Ebay this year (paid for out of my paypal account as I have been selling items due to moving house) and unless I actually tell folk where I bought the items they will be none the wiser!

    Good luck in your hunt!
