Some do, but not the original Pay Pal from abroad, but a "Chinese version" which is based in Hong Kong I beleive, and you must become a member there and set up an account with them like back home.

“Paypal China” and “Paypal International” are separate and you can't use them interchangely. In China you can ONLY use “paypal china” which can ONLY be connected to a chinese bank account and in RMB. 
You will have no problems paying using “Paypal international” on International sites. For inside china (ie on TaoBao) you can use the “alipay” connected to your chinese bank account. 
Important note: Only login to paypal by typing the URL manually using "https". If you look close at some of those message and the links.. even when the text might say paypal, it's usually linked to some other domain or IP where they have build a site to look like paypal, then they collect your login and empty your bank account or go on a shopping spree.....
Warned man, counts for two!

Actually if you are using Ebay you have to create a paypal account. Also I have bought many things from people from china and they had to create a paypal account in order to sell or buy any items they either displayed or purchased in China. Hope that helps!

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
