Hello Anne. At first, I have gone crazy with how PayPal works, but surely - it is simple. You just go to their website, and fill up their online form. As long as you have a valid e-mail address, you will be able to sign up for a free account. You don't need a credit card upfront, but if you want to withdraw your PayPal funds or if you wanted to add some money to it, you needed one.
In the Philippines, we get an EON Debit Card from UnionBank. That's a debit card that you can use to verify your PayPal account and to lift your limitations. If you have questions, please don't hesitate to send me a message. I'll be more than happy to help you out. :) Cheers!

Hi Amaine, I just want to ask about debit card, can a debit card from BPI (Bank of the Philippine Island) can also link to Paypal account? Because I have one. But I heard that upon opening a EON Debit you will have to pay 350 pesos?

Hi amaine, thank you so much for the help, you're right, it's totally confusing :D
Aww. So i'll need one eventually? That's one of the things i'm avoiding, to have a credit card.
I thought as long as you have your paypal acct verified, they can send your earnings directly to your bank acct.? No? .

You can sign up for paypal free. You do not need a credit card but you will need a verified account to with draw your money. You can use a bank account to do that and they simply add a few cents in 2 transactions and you tell them how much each one was and there you are your verified. At least that is how it was when I verified my account. You can at that time withdraw your funds to the account you added or you can request a check. Paypal is very easy to sign up for and they will walk you through it step by step. They also have a great FAQ on their site. Here is a link to their site. Good luck and welcome to mylot.

eheeh ok paypal website is quite popular on paypal.com and so you can subscribe an account for free without problems just registering your info and nothing more!!To receive money you need to give your mail adress you subscribed there as id but to withdraw funds there are many methods you can transfer your funds on your bank account even transfer on your credit/debit cards!!To add funds you can register a debit/credit card of popular circuit like visa or mastercard and add funds directly from your card but may be is better to make money on mylot and add funds like that on your account!!Anyway in some cases some rules can change depending from the country you come from...good luck!!

Creating Paypal account is free, and you don't need to have a credit card.
But you may need credit card for verifying your account so you can withdraw your Paypal money to your bank account or to your card.
The verification process is different for each country. As an example, now in my country, we can no longer use bank account for verifying our account and now it's strictly credit card only for verifying account.
You may want to contact Paypal about this verification issue..

I think you should have mentioned your country on the question. However, you need a credit card to make purchases through paypal. For withdraw to paypal you need a bank account. First visit Paypal.com create an account, then link your bank account to it . It will send some amount to your bank account, re enter them in paypal. Now your account is verified. You also need a PAN card.

hi there,
to be honest, at first, you will not be needing a credit card to sign-up for paypal. all you need is just to fill-out an online application form. however, that credit card will be vital the moment you are making an online earning redemption. wherein you need to complete your application process in order your paypal account has been activated. hence, your application would not be consider complete if you didn't furnish any credit card. so you really need it in the process eventually.

There is no other requirement than to complete filling up the registration form. Attaching your credit card is just optional though it is recommended. You will attach your credit card if you want your account to get verified. It is recommended to have a verified paypal account because if you will buy an item online, most of them required a verified paypal users. You can have a paypal account without attaching your credit card but your transactions will be limited. So it is your choice. Good day!

You do not need credit card to sign up for paypal. You can create a free account there. However in order for you to be verified, you need to attach credit card information or bank account information.

Hello Anne,
I don't think there is any requirements to create a Valid Paypal account, I've created mine one when i was only 15. Since them I'm using Paypal to earn some money and spend it via Ebay. If you would have searched the net, you would have found everything you need by the way.
