this is gonna sound noobie so dont act tough and call me an idiot just answer the question... I dont know how to use paypal and what it does when i sell stuff and how to sell and buy anything
 
well basically you sign up, and with ebay you bid on and win an item as normal, and if you press refresh on the page after youve won it, a button saying 'pay now with paypal' will appear. you click it and follow the steps, put in your paypal pasword etc and the money goes to them.

the paypal account is linked to your credit card, but the money dosnt go directly into and out of your credit card account, it sits in the paypal acocunt for a while, and then is removed or added to your bank account every month or so (im not actually sure how often).

its very basic, and very handy- id reccomend it fully.

to make payments out of ebay you simply log onto the paypal account, and click on 'send money' type in their email adress and the amount etc. they then have to go onto their account and click 'accept money' and its theirs.
 
you dont have to have a credit card you just have to register your bank account with your paypal account. then you requesty money and it takes between 4-10 days depending on if your in the us or canada. then you can directly transfer money form your paypal account to someone elses
 
ddint feel like making a nrew thread so i will bump this one. can i use any bankaccount of mine? im 14 and the only one i have is some savings one from when i was younger, could i use this or do i need a new account
 
You need a card number to set up the account I am 99% sure. So I do believe it has to be a checking account but I could be wrong
