    Ok, I was thinking of signing up for a Paypal account for donations and such... but I have a few questions...

    1] Does it cost anything?

    2] Do you have to have a credit card?

    3] Can I be 15 and have one?

    4] Where does the money go?

    5] How the hell do I get one? lol

    Thanx for taking the time to answer my questions! ;)

    1] Does it cost anything?
    - No, its free to sign up
    - If you would like to take money out of your paypal account and put it into your bank account (withdraw) then you get charged $0.15 if you are withdrawing $150 or less or its free if you withdraw $150 or more


    2] Do you have to have a credit card?
    - Yes, only to verify your account though. I used my older brothers Visa. But im pretty sure you can buy stuff with it too.

    3] Can I be 15 and have one?
    - Yes

    4] Where does the money go?
    - Into your paypal, you have to manually put it into your bank account and you get to choose how much you want

    5] How the hell do I get one? lol
    Go to paypal.com
    Enter your bank info
    Enter your credit card number/expiration date
    They will give you a PIN # and call your house, when you pick up the phone enter the PIN # and you will be a verified member

    -------------------
    i hope that helps

    1. No.
    2. No, you can use your credit card or your bank card.
    3. I don't know age restrictions. I guess its ok as long as you have the bank card.
    4. Think of it as a online check, when you type the persons account name and how much you want to send, its just like a real check.
    5. Sign up at the paypal website. You need to enter lots of info like bank account numbers and stuff. Then, two small ammounts of money will be added to your account. Ex. $0.75 and $0.16. You will have to check your bank account to see what those ammounts are exactly, and then you have to enter them in on the website to make your account active.
