No, not even large stores. 

 

Think of PayPal as a digital wallet. If you checkout through PayPal either by logging in or through Guest Checkout, the seller/merchant/retailer never obtain your card or banking details.

 

The only exception to this would be a PayPal Virtual Terminal transaction or a PayPal Here keyed transaction. You could possibly have these payment options if you called in an order over the phone or were traveling in a country that offers retailers Here devices, and in a very limited situation from a merchant with a device traveling in Moldova.

 

With an online transaction, a seller wont know if you payed with your card, your available PayPal balance, or a mixture of the two.

No. PayPal doesn't share your financial information with sellers.

 

Only you and PayPal know your card details.
