Have you ever wanted to pay using your PayPal account but couldn't because PayPal wasn't accepted? Well you're not alone. There are a lot of sites that currently accept PayPal but, there are always those few that don't. You can actually still use your PayPal account to pay on sites that don't accept PayPal. Follow these steps to use PayPal, even when PayPal isn't accepted.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Step 1

First you will need a PayPal account. A personal PayPal account is free. You can get a free PayPal account at PayPal.com. Once you have a PayPal account, proceed to step 2.
Step 2

Log in to your PayPal account and click on "Paypal Plug-in" on the left side of the screen. You will be directed to the PayPal plug-in download site. Download the plug-in.
Step 3

Once you have downloaded the PayPal plug-in, install the software by clicking the icon. You will now notice a PayPal icon on your Internet Browser. Click the icon on your browser and select "continue setup". You will be directed to your account to continue your PayPal plug-in setup.
Step 4

What does the PayPal plug-in do? When you are checking out via the internet, or making a payment online, simply click the PayPal icon on your browser and select "Generate secure card number". This will generate a one-time credit card number to use to make the payment and the payment will come from your PayPal account. Neat, huh? You can also select the "Auto fill Form" on the PayPal icon and it will automatically fill in all your personal information in the address section of the internet site.
Step 5

You can now make a payment where PayPal is not accepted. PayPal simply generates a one-time Mastercard number to make the payment. You can now use PayPal wherever Mastercard is accepted. Take note that you must have a bank account verified to your PayPal account to use this feature.
