I’ve checked the websites of [DigiKey](http://www.digikey.com), [Mouser](http://www.mouser.com) and [Jameco](http://www.jameco.com) but haven’t been able to find any that will accept PayPal. I don’t have any credit cards but do have some money in my PayPal account.

Any place where I can get small electronic parts via PayPal? I’d really prefer to buy all the parts I need for an [upcoming project](http://www.rcrowley.com/ComClone/default.htm) from one dealer to keep all the shipping charges down.

Get the Paypal plug-in. It will generate a single use credit card number and use funds from your Paypal account. I use it quite a bit.
