credit card and paypal

Is there anyone who is using credit card and paypal services on the net.
I just want to know which is the best source for online shopping without showing our credit card to them ?

    Do you mean funding our paypal account with a credit card? If thats what you mean then yes I have done so in the past. Also you can get a card called SplashPlastic which is a card just used for online - you put funds into this account to make purchases and you can only spend what you have in the account. I am sure there are other cards that have this facility but you will have to check what is accepted where.

  • I've used PayPal on eBay for about 5 years now and have never had any problems whatsoever. I have only 3 gripes: a) you can only register the same credit card to just one PayPal account, so if you had 2 PayPal accounts, you'd need a 2nd credit card. 2) PayPal only accept Visa/Mastercard ... if your card does not have a 3-digit security code on the signature strip, forget it!! And 3) paying by PayPal is almost TOO easy ... all you need is to send it to an e-mail address that's registered with PayPal, there's no extra security involved.
