New Paypal user

Hi All can anyone advise me please?My daughter wants me to book a hotel in Tangier for her.The site advises me to use Paypal, sending the money to an email address. Now I know that its not like buying off Ebay but what are the problems, if any? Can I use my credit card as usual? I have an existing Paypal account but haven't used it for several years - it's still active.Should I be wary of anything. As ever, any help would be appreciated.

  • You can use CC when paying in Paypal to give you extra protection if anything should go wrong. You have to input your bank account, but you can change the payment method.

    I'd be wary of a hotel that doesn't have a proper booking system as such, though.
