I sell on eBay (hobbyist, not business) and transfer the profit from Paypal into my Barclays account (or leave some in Paypal and use it to make eBay purchases. I also pay my eBay fees from Paypal too). I do the transfer on line ie i log into Paypal and send it to my bank account.
I keep getting ad's asking me if I want a Paypal card.
As I understand...I can use this to draw money out of the bank/ hole in wall? But I don't see the point of this.. I always transfer it anyway, as I said.
In the past, I have paid with money from my Paypal account, to buy some clothes online from Topshop.
So could I pay IN store with my card, at shops that accept Paypal?
For eg.. could I go into Boots on the high street and buy a lipstick using my Paypal card?

(because if I can, it will seem like it's not real money) and therefore less guilt ;-)

I have one. It's a MasterCard so you can use in stores that accept that.

Cashpoint withdrawals are £2.

£2? that's not great when it's free online to transfer it. So to use in stores, is there a fee?

So ALL stores that accept paypal online, will accept in store too?

Yes.

All stores that accept MasterCard accept it too.

No fee for using in store.
