Where do I buy -current- vinyl online?

I just sold off my old DAC, and I want to spend my money on a nice phono preamp and a few records. The problem is, I can't find a decent source to buy vinyl. I'm looking for somewhere that takes PayPal and carries LPs that I like. I listen to a ton of prog and metal, at least those are my favorite genres to listen to on vinyl. Should I just scour eBay, or is there a shop that will take care of all of my needs? Thanks all.

Didn't see too much prog, at least nothing that I recognized. However, they have a few cool LPs in their recent arrivals section. Do they take PayPal? Thanks.

Alright, thanks. Also just found MusicDirect and ElusiveDisc. Not really one-stop shops for me, but a couple very good leads I think. Anything I can't get there I'll probably just pick up from eBay.

these sell vinyl and accept paypal
blackmetal.com - your extreme metal music mail order source - black metal
Welcome - The End Records
CM DISTRO - YOUR PREMIERE METAL STORE FOR OVER 10 YEARS

i have yet to order anything from blackmetal.com and have not ordered any vinyl from the other 2 but...
CMDistro charges quite a bit for shipping and is SLOW (every order i've placed they sat on for a week) but they have a wide selection and occasionally have some really good sales
The End Records has a free shipping option and they don't waste time shipping orders out.. ordered a CD the monday before christmas and got it in the mail on christmas eve using the media mail option

also you can always get the paypal debit card and buy from amazon... though their selection isn't quite as wide as some online shops and there are some concerns about the way they package vinyl for shipping...

Yeah, I got a ridiculously poorly packaged LP from them last August. The resulting warp must have been an inch deep. But they were very quick to send out a replacement. MusicDirect does very good packing and are a great source for a lot of stuff.

It's a commonplace, but I think eBay is a great option for vinyl buyers. I always look at the prices there and also in MusicStack and DiscoGs (but this last one's more directed to electronic music, I think it wouldn't help you).
