PayPal is the most popular online payment solution. In the past, moneygrams and wire transfers are the standard form of payment but nowadays, millions of Internet users prefer to use PayPal in paying purchases online, sending and receiving money via email. It is free to join PayPal or to send money to other members but there is a fee structure for those who want to receive or withdraw money.

​

When you use PayPal in paying online purchases the merchant will not see your credit card information. The same holds true when you send money to other members as money transfer is done via email. Perhaps, this is the biggest advantage of using Paypal and this is also the reason why most people trusted the company.

​

Create an account to start using PayPal. You only need a valid email address and a credit card or bank account to link to. Visit the PayPal’s website and click the Sign Up button. This will direct you to the registration page where you are asked to enter personal information and bank or credit card information. After the registration, validate your email address by clicking on the link PayPal give you. You now have a PayPal account and are free to use it as needed.
