You still wanna use your debit card or even your paypal still to pay for your kits?  read on!

Sometimes, when I want something online and it doesnt take paypal, I use the paypal debit card.  It works like UK switch/Solo and other debit cards used in Europe and infact debit cards of all kinds all over the world.  You use it like a debit card but it takes money from your paypal account.  And you can use it like you would to pay at any mastercard points when you are online and real life shopping.....   plus its just as safe as your average CC!

The following might help:

Why should I use the PayPal Debit Card?

The PayPal Debit Card gives you instant access to the money you receive in your PayPal account, eliminating the step of having to transfer money from your PayPal account to your bank account.

Am I protected if my debit card is lost or stolen?

There is 100% protection against unauthorized purchases made with your PayPal Debit Card.

What other benefits do I get when I use the PayPal Debit Card?

Your PayPal Debit Card purchases may be eligible under MasterCard’s MasterCard Premier Business Card program for a variety of protections, including rental car insurance, travel assistance, and protection against lost or damaged items. Please see the MasterCard Guide to Benefits for more details.
