Can you pay someone money using a credit card through paypal?

Pretty much that. My car is on its way out, and what I wanted to propose is that my Mum pay (a portion of the cost as I have some money saved) of a car... and I pay her back using the credit card through paypal.

Is that possible? Will I be fined by the bank or paypal. I'm running out of options financially... and the only other option is I go to a car dealer and buy car with credit card and pay my excess savings towards that... but car dealers tend to be a lot more costly...

Yes I think you can

Paypal fee 3.4%+20p

Not sure how your card issuer sees the transaction, maybe as per paying for goods.

c/c won't charge, but paypal will.

Thanks for the replies. Shall have to work it all out and then decide whether its more worth going to an official dealer...

You can use PayPay 'gifted' to send money to family or friends, and then there's no fees, IIRC.

You can't "gift" from a credit card
