If you don't have a credit card you can use a visa debit card. After you enter the details of the card they will charge you a small fee until you input the verification code that they will send to your credit card. After you input the verification code paypal will give back the fee that they charge you. Their reason for this is to make sure that you are the real owner of the credit card that you are using to verify the account. Hope this helps.

If you are lucky, you could attach your bank to paypal. I saw what country your are in, and off the top of my head, you may be in luck. Just go to paypal website and check it out. If you are concerned about paypal having your details. Don't worry. They are under contract to keep you details safe and secure. I have been with paypal since may/june last year and I am feeling safe with paypal now.

It is not necessary to give your credit card details , you can skip that step when you make a paypal online bank account . If u want to provide the details of your credit card, then u can provide them later.

Well, You dont need to have a credit card to transact money. I think only for transactions above $10,000 you need to connect a credit card. Hope this clears your doubt. if you have further doubt you can raise a ticket in paypal!

they ask for your card detaild to verify that you are a major you have some revenue source as paypal also is helpfull in online shopping. it is the most secure money system today onthe net.......... so dont worry of your card details being hacked or they charging unneccesarily you can also skip the step of entering your card details for now only thing is that to get paid you have to be verified
