It's free.. Infact when you confirm your bank account they send you money.. (I got 8 cents, but hey it's still money!)
They ask for a card number because to get money from your bank account to your paypal they will obviously need your bank card number.
Or if you want to connect a credit card to paypal you can do that too. To verify who you are, the account needs to be connected to a person.

PayPal is great. It's free and it's not a scam, but you do need to hook it up to a card or bank account or you won't activate it. It's quite secure, though some online forums say hackers can get in. The only trouble I had was a phishing scam - it's very easy for fraudsters to copy the PayPal site so it looks legit.
Just make sure you really ARE on PayPal - not somewhere copying them - and go for it. I find it great for online shopping, and if you don't have enough in your PP account the excess is automatically transferred from your bank account/card - with no need to give away personal bank details on other sites.
