The best way to Spend PayPal Funds on Internet in India
Online Shopping in India is quite unsafe, most Indians use internet eCommerce portals like eBay.com just to check the price of what they want.
Anyways, the fact is that Indian networks are pretty safe to shop even with credit card. So, if you’re thinking that your information might get stolen by the website, then you’re completely wrong. Anyhow, for people who are earning money online via online home business etc. use PayPal as major funds management tool.
If you use PayPal, please tell us how do you maximize PayPal security. India and Shopping, a great combo, actually people here like new gadgets and therefore website like eBay.in are flourishing.
One way to use PayPal funds and buy goods online is to withdraw it first to Credit Card and then spend at eBay but since a few Indians don’t have back account, following method will come handy.
The Introduction of Infibeam
Infibeam.com is an e-Commerce portal operated and owned by Vishal Mehta, it is 30 Crore enterprise and operates a B to C trading business, what I want you to know is that it supports PayPal as a payment option.

Hmm… even though they have little high prices but their services are great and you don’t have any other option, where will you use PayPal funds otherwise.
If you have any better utilization of PayPal funds or have any other online shopping websites with PayPal integration then please comment underneath.
Shop online on eBay with Credit Card and on Infibeam with PayPal. I think they should improve their collection, I Recently ordered Samsung Monte S5620 from them.
Update (26/Oct/2011): As per the RBI terms, you won’t be able to use your PayPal funds for online transactions, you can only withdraw them to your bank account. So, if you want to purchase from Infibeam.com then you have to use Debit Card or Credit.
A new fact about Pay Pal :
I applied for a charity account with Pay pal because its free and supported by vbulletin software for payment subscription, I have all the documents like NGO Registration certificate, Memorandum of Society, Society PAN card, and the Bank details , bank details were verified by the Pay Pal by depositing amount of Rs. 2 and 40 paisa, after submitting all the document as per said in their website and in their emails, they denied me for the account, just because they have no tie-up with India regarding charity account, what the hell is this, why the pay pal people should not mention at the time sign up process. I have wasted around 1000/- rs in doing fax to pay pal and after 4-5 days they denied.
Don’t apply for a charity account with pay pal if you are living in India. Just wastage of time and money.
Can we use paypal funds to buy at infibeam?
