A lot of online business is done with PayPal. The whole ebay thing, for instance. And personally, I do some writing for a website and I get paid via PayPal.

But when you mostly buy stuff from Amazon, that is a problem. While I have a credit card, I have no way of converting my money in PayPal to pay off my credit card when I use it.

So my money pretty much sits there in my paypal account, even though there's stuff I would like to buy at Amazon. Because while there are a number of merchants that take paypal, most of their prices are worse than Amazon...

That said, I'm not paying a 20% mark up like from this site. I can understand a reasonable increase, but...$5 for a $25 card?
