Most online retailers accept Paypal as a form of payment. You could check paypal to see which stores do accept so you could use your credit.

Default for whats its worth

Used pay pal once and got screwed. I've also been scammed using money
orders and the mail. For me in the future, it's show up in person, examine
the goods and pay cash on the spot. No bullshit, just a straight up honest
deal.

when you pay for something with paypal it deducts from your paypal credits first and then goes to your account if it is over that amount. You can also transfer the 500 to your bank account for free. Its an option

Paypal is good. It keeps you safe from being scammed by being able to take the money back from the accounts of those who do try to scam.

:madr: I'm still in a dispute over the jerk that didn't send me all the stuff and now he wants the money for the product I got where not everything was there. I'm trying to send back the stuff.
