I'd strongly recommend against that, this forum is full of people who've been ripped off in some way where they've either missed the timeframe to claim via PayPal or PayPal have sided with the seller.

Always pay directly with a credit card whenever possible so you have S75 protection and a chargeback facility, both of which you lose when you use PayPal.

Sorry I thought this was for a purchase of less than £100 being cheap clothes from China.

What do you recommend for safe guarding under this amount?

the problem is you don't know you are buying from China no mention of that country at all only when money comes out of bank are you aware it is a Chinese company they are very clever

did you not do any research at all before paying money to a random company?
from your other thread this was a site called fashionable laughter
for future reference you can check out domain names and reviews online before parting with your money
you can use a whois search on the website name ...this would have shown is was registered in 2013 and was registered in China
you can also type "company name reviews" into Google and you would have come across stuff like this
http://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/www.fashionablelaughter.com
you would then have known not to waste your time or money

As per my post, paying directly by card allows you to use chargeback in the event of issues.

The clothes that you buy locally, say from Primark, are of a standard set by retailers, even though they may be made in China. And if the item does not conform to UK sizes and standards then the retailer will suffer.
But when you buy clothes from China direct then sizes and standards are non-existent.
I once bought LED bulbs from a chinese company. They worked fine for while but then they started tripping the electric consumer unit. So there was obviously something wrong dangerous with the bulbs; so I took them off and put them in the bin.
More recently I bought a chemise, listed as medium on the website. When it arrived I could not even get it past my head, as it was so small. I emailed customer services and they insisted the size was correct. I did not bother buying anything from them again.
If you go to China and shop around, there are different sections for different races because of the size issue. Obviously the online stores dont know where the UK is.
