    If your bank doesn’t offer virtual credit cards (or they’re a pain to use) and you don’t want to sign up with another service, then yeah - PayPal is safer to give than your credit card number.

      In my experience, sites aren’t implementing their own credit card payments. Paypal and Stripe are common, and there are a couple of local payment portals as well.

      If it’s not one of those I probably wouldn’t use it, but in general it would never be the case that you can’t pay with a credit card, where as PayPal is probably an option 1/3 of the time.
