Issue with ordering the new macbook pro's

[FerraraZ]

I want to order the new macbook pro's but the problem is all the money I have to spend on it is in paypal. The apple store doesn't take paypal so I dont know what I could do! Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm a college student and I can only use paypal to buy this new macbook pro.

Seconded.

Or, Paypal does let you generate a virtual credit card that some vendors use.

Or, Paypal will cut you a check, sure it takes a while, but you get your money. You then give that money to someone else (preferably with an American Express card since that gets you double warranty) and they buy it for you.

Or, you send me the money, and I buy the laptop for you

Or, you send the money to someone that is not me, but someone else that you trust, that does have their bank account linked to Paypal.

1. Log in to Paypal
2. On the left side under "Tools", click on "PayPal Plug-In"
3. On the left side under "PayPal Plug-In", click on "Secure Cards"
4. Click on "Generate New Card" and go from there

This generates a Virtual Credit Card which should work with the Apple Store. I've never had it not work at an online retailer, at least.

The PayPal debit card will work at any place that accepts MasterCard.

Yes. I have used the PayPal Virtual Card at a couple different e-tailers before I got my own bank account, and it worked very well. Definitely a good option there.

Thanks guys, I opted for the paypal virtual credit card to pay for it. It was pain free and quick so I'm definatly excited to get my new macbook pro.

VIVA APPLE!!
