Depending on agency policy, charge cards may be allowed to fund e-commerce accounts to make purchases. However, the use of third party payment mechanisms like PayPal are discouraged because it is extremely difficult to determine the merchant from which the product/service was obtained for reconciliation and 1099 filing (when necessary). Cardholders should check with their agency/organization card program management office to learn more about agency/organization policy.
