    It seems not, at least directly:

    and

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201895610

    which says We don't accept: PayPal.

    You can get a Paypal (pre-paid) Mastercard which uses your Paypal balance. Not sure how this works with Paypal Credit though.

    I can imagine that Amazon will never allow anything which has an association with eBay and thus PayPal on their business. Holding money is power. Imagine what would happen if pay pal was holding Amazon or their sellers money because of a dispute which might be happening at any time..

    It is for obvious reason, it is one of Amazon strong competitors. even though they are not competing on head to head basis.

    PayPal credit interest free is only if you spend more than £150 in one transaction. I think it's pretty rubbish as you can get better deals from other credit cards
    Mortgage free wannabe 

    Actual mortgage stating amount £75,150

    Overpayment paused to pay off cc 

    Starting balance £66,565.45

    Current balance £55,819

    Cc debt free.
