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.

well I learn something new everyday on here. I would think if I had a business and someone wanted to give me money I would accommodate them - but I am not as big as they are.
We do learn everyday. The best we can do is to see how best we can manage around the issue or better still look for a gap to fill with a solution for some of these hurdles.
I don't think Amazon ever took paypal. I know it is an inconvenience. Amazon may take it in the future, to compete with ebay.
Don't you have a Pay pal debit card? they should take that.
I know that will not pay affiliates to their pay pal accounts.
I would newer use debit card on the internet for security reason. I think Amazon have newer had Paypal like you said and that is very bad because normally I don´t buy from a company which not have Paypal, even so I have done that with Amazon.
I also noticed that bit of them not paying into a PayPal account.My affiliate returns are still far from redeemable, but I will.need to have a plan when they do.
I get hotels and other brick and mortar businesses. I had presumed Amazon to be a largely online business hence my shock.

I've always used my card and never noticed the Paypal deal.
