PayPal Credit Card

PayPal also offers two credit cards in collaboration with Mastercard: the PayPal Cashback Mastercard and the PayPal Extras Mastercard. These credit cards are available exclusively to PayPal account holders and function similarly to regular credit cards. They can be used for making purchases both online and in physical stores. However, it's important to note that when using these cards, you're not directly utilizing your PayPal balance to cover the cost of your purchases.

Amazon Gift Card

If you want to use PayPal to buy stuff from Amazon, one simple way is to purchase Amazon gift cards using your PayPal account. You can buy these gift cards from websites like eGifter and Best Buy and pay with your PayPal balance. Once you have the gift card, you can use it to shop on Amazon just like you would with any other payment method.
