i was wondering how i use paypal. i want to use it on my xanga so ppl can send me donations but i was wondering if it cost me anything just to have the account and if i can do it with the basic personal one that i have. please give me any other info that you have on it too to help me. the web site just confused me.

Paypal does not cost anything to use unless you are opening up a business or merchant account. You do have to have either a credit card or chacking/savings account in order to use it though. Paypal handles online transactions, it is not a bank; so you need a place where the money goes. You also need a valid e-mail address to use and probably your parents permission if you aren't 18.

Hope this helps and if you need any more information: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_help-ext&source_page=_help-ext

EDIT (in response to feedback): If you are purchasing from a seller on Ebay, then you don't have to do anything else; that is unless the seller requires you to be a verified user of Paypal. In order to sell on Ebay you need to be a verified user. In order to have a verified account through Paypal you have to have a checking or savings account set on your Paypal account.
