Watch the following video for a good introduction on what is PayPal:
Is it safe to use?
PayPal helps protect your
credit card/bank account information with the best security and fraud
prevention systems. When you use PayPal, your financial information is
never shared with the seller.
Is it free to use?
Yes. You can make purchases or send money with PayPal for free.
How does PayPal work?
It's actually quite simple. When
you shop online, choose PayPal when paying for your items. You'll be
asked to log into your PayPal account using your email address and
password. Click to confirm your payment and then you're done.
Can I use PayPal if I don't have a credit
card/debit card/bank account/?
You can use your PayPal account to pay even if you don't have a credit
card or a bank account, in case you have money on your PayPal balance.
Otherwise,
you can use your PayPal account to pay and then choose to either charge
your credit card or debit card (if you have one) or your bank account
(if you don't have a credit card or a debit card).
