Some English translations of Puranas can be found online here:

(a) Garuda purana (abridged)
(b) Garuda purana (full)
(a) Brahmanda Purana (b) Online proofread edition
Padma Purana (Volume 1&2 missing).

(Correct me if any of these sources are abridged or not genuine)

What about unabridged versions of other Puranas? Are they available on net?

I found some Puranas on DLI but I don't know whether they are abridged or unabridged.

Can anyone mention online sources for complete English translations for other Puranas viz.:

Agni Purana
Brahmavaivartha Purana
Kurma Purana
Matsya purana
Skanda Purana,
Vamana purana
Varaha Purana and
Vayu Purana

If all these are not available, can anyone give sources for

Matsya
Skanda
Vayu and
Agni Puranas.

I found most of the Puranas on www.indianscriptures.com

Most of them are in English.

I'm linking a screenshot to mark the ones in English so that it is easier to understand. The Agni Purana is with the green dot because it is in Hindi not English.

They haven't provided an index of the contents but most indexes would be available on Exotic India Art's Book Search, in the description.

As for copyright issues the site says it is fine to download for personal use.

Hope this was of some help.
