Hi, I’m Claudia Lombana, PayPal’s Shopping Specialist. It’s back-to-school time and that means shopping!

As students prepare to hit the books, they’ll need all the latest hot items before heading back to campus. But who wants to deal with the hassle of crowded malls and discount stores? With PayPal, you can make those purchases from the comfort of your computer or even your mobile phone.

According to spending surveys, the average family of four spends about $550 to $600 getting kids ready for school. Compete’s recently released Online Shopper Intelligence study found that retailers selling electronics and dorm necessities and accessories will see the biggest push online.

According to the Compete Online Shopper Intelligence Study, 30% of back-to-school shoppers said they will conduct at least half of their back-to-school shopping online

We took the hot list of back-to-school items on the road to KTLA; Los Angeles’ #1 rated morning show, recently. Check out the video below for a demo of the products.
