    Paypal is a site that serves as a money transfer system. It allows people to accept and make payments from an online account Paypal offers you, in which you can deposit money from your debit account, and use a credit card to perform transactions (such as buying Gamerenders credits from another site member)

    It's relatively simple to set up. And once you set it up (and use a bank account) get your account verified. Most people prefer to do business with verified Paypal accounts.

    Hope that helps.

    Yeah. It's kind of like an online safe, with a credit card machine in it. :D

    You sign up, and create an account. Then you add your payment information, where you'll be prompted for either a credit card number or a debit card number, or a checking account number.

    As soon as it's set up, you can transfer money from your bank account into your paypal account, or make direct payments from your bank account to whomever you are doing business with. :D

    Be ware, though, that some people try pulling scams with faking counterfeit Paypal emails asking for pw and username. I saw it once and was kind of ehh...

    Anyway, never email your personal information to anyone you do not know. This is the only turn-off of Paypal.

    Yeah ... for people with paypal accounts, beware of phishing emails which look like they were sent by Paypal admin. More than often, they are not.
