Sites that take paypal?

Options
Are there any online shops which let you pay by paypal other than ebay? I've saved loads of money in my ebay account and I'd like to buy a few Xmas presents online without using a credit card.

    I think you are best to get the money out of your paypal account (£50 and over free)

    Paypal have a bit of a bad reputation for the protection side of purchases as well so a CC is the better bet.

    I've not seen anywhere else that takes paypal except for e-bay and e-bay shops.

    I'm with BenL on this, withdraw the funds from Paypal first and then use your credit card to make your purchases - assuming you pay your cc bill off in full every month you'll get the benefits of the interest free period and far better purchase protection than Paypal could ever hope to offer.

    Also this way you're not limited to the shops who accept Paypal, giving you far more choice and quite possibly better prices.
