is PayPal? With more than 40 million member
accounts in over
45 countries worldwide, PayPal is the world's largest online payment
service. PayPal makes sending money as easy as sending email! Any PayPal
member can instantly and securely send money to anyone in the U.S. with
an email address.
Is PayPal
secure? Yes. PayPal uses SSL technology to
keep your information safe. In addition, when you send a payment using
PayPal, the recipient won't receive sensitive financial information like
your credit card or bank account number. This way, you don't have to
worry about paying people you don't know.
Does it cost
money to sign up for PayPal? No. Opening a PayPal account is free.
Personal accounts can send and receive money for free. There are low
transaction fees for PayPal Premier and Business account members to
receive payments.
How do I use
PayPal to send a payment? After you
sign up for a PayPal account, you will need to add a funding source
for your payments. For immediate payments, you'll need to add a credit
or debit card. You may also use PayPal Buyer Credit if you have been
approved. Then, click on the Send Money tab
and enter the recipient's email address and the amount of your payment.
You may also fund payments using your PayPal balance or your U.S.
checking account. Just remember, adding a bank account will take a few
days.
