Hi,
Paypal do not allow payments for anything in this industry. Also the client can reverse payment up to 3 months later, so whilst you may have transferred the money, you will have a debt with them.
Whilst not the best prepay card for rates and charges, most good newsagents stock prime cards, think they are ?10 or ?15 to buy?
If a one off, maybe a mobile top up may work?
