How to buy on Amazon using PayPal credit?

Amazon does not accept PayPal credit so what can you do is buy an Amazon gift card using PayPal Credit. Then use the Amazon gift card to make your purchase.

According to Paypal customer support there is no alternative card, such as a PayPal credit-only card, that can be linked to your existing PayPal credit line so Amazon would accept and process the transaction as credit, not debit. 

This means your recent Amazon transaction was processed as a debit and access funds in your checking acct because you previously designated your checking account as the primary backup payment method for the PP Bus. Debit MC. To avoid any future surprises, you can delete all designated backup accounts for use by the PP Bus. Debit MC. So that in the future, if a merchant or Amazon doesn’t accept PayPal credit, the transaction would be declined without a backup funding source designated by you in your  PayPal settings.  However, PayPal does allow its credit line to be used to send money.

If you want to use PayPal on Amazon (or any other site that doesn’t accept it), try one of these two tricks.
