Amazon does not take Paypal

I was quite surprised to learn that Amazon does not take Paypal as a payment method. They want actual credit cards. There are a couple of books I want to buy and also a drone for my drone niche with money I have accumulated in my Paypal account only to be stopped in my tracks when I wanted to pay.

I found this very surprising.

This means I have to make other plans. I haven't linked my Paypal account to my bank account yet. It is a little bit of a mission if you do not have a US bank account. One bank in South Africa offers the facility to link to Paypal but two attempts last year were fruitless. Maybe I need to give a shot once again and walk into the branch.
