Can you order pizza or delivery food with paypal?

[Erose999]

I'm flat broke, bank account empty and no cash on my person. Customer will be paying for a project today via paypal.

I have enough beans and canned food to survive until the paypal clears into my bank account but it'd be nice if I could get some sort of food product right away. I figure pizza would be easiest because you can order online.

I've heard of services where you buy a e-mail gift card for the pizza chains with Paypal and you can use that to order online. Has anyone here used them?

Thanks for any help!!

1. Note that such gift card services usually charge a significant fee. n/t

2. If you find it in the site that they accept it, they would

Also! There is a way to get a paypal debit card.

However, I am still very upset with paypal... So I took down most of my information from them.

3. I'm not too happy with paypal either, but for the work I do its a necessary evil sometimes.

I'd much rather get a check in the mail for my orders, but customers seem to trust those Paypal crooks with their money more than the USPS.

4. Probably a time issue as much as anything....

Snail mail checks can take a week to 10 days to clear sometimes. Paypay is a bit more immediate. I know I hate to have a check out there floating around, arriving at my bank at some random time. It tempts me too much when I look at my account and it says I have money in there that is really already committed.

I think most people have not experienced the bad side of Paypal, either.

5. Agreed, its totally a buyers market with PayPal. I can almost always clear a mailed check faster

unless its coming from across the country. My Credit Union clears checks into my account instantly when I deposit them at the branch during business hours.

PayPal comes from my customer's bank accounts, but its 4-5 days before it clears into my bank account. And then theres the fees, which I just pass on to the customer.

7. in the future, a paypal debit card will be very useful to you

Money is available in minutes (unless you are a new ebay seller) and you can pull it right out at any ATM. It's a mastercard.
