Forgive the obvious question, but why not just transfer the money from Paypal back to your bank account, and then buy books from whatever store you wish?

Normally I prefer PayPal over credit card, so I don't need to give my credit card data to many different stores. Then they must have had something I wanted really cheap, or they were the only one to offer it. Have to check that. |

My bank charges a fee for both incoming and outgoing transfers unless it's to someone using the same bank. I believe you use their email address to send money.

I don't know. My information may actually be out of date. Last time I checked (in the Netherlands), it did cost a few percent, with some fixed maximum, like €25.

Not exactly. The majority of Kobo's books are DRM'ed with ADE. Still it is super simple to strip the DRM after you've downloaded them with ADE (I cannot say anymore on the matter).

I use prepaid debit cards for online purchases. I had a bad experience with identity theft in South Korea a few years back (my fault, I'll admit). But I can't stand to use eBay or any of their products.

Thanks for that. It rather reinforces the point that, rather than looking for bookstores that accept PayPal, it would perhaps be more sensible to transfer the money to the bank, which would then allow you to buy from any store.

There's no fee with Paypal. But it depends on how the "transfer" is done. If I go to my bank's website and send $100 to Paypal, I will be charged a fee. Same as if I send $100 to you or Walmart, etc.
