Did you set up an account in Paypal? That is the first step, then if you and the seller have accounts its pretty easy.

What are you having problems with?

I am not sure about how living in Canada would impact you.

However, I don't hink that you need to have a Credit Card - a debit card, if you have one, will work just as well.

Alternatively, you can do "Instant Transfers" from your checking account, but these are "instant" only after the first time, which is used by PayPal to confirm your bank account. Also, when you do a PayPal "instant transfer", you can't get a chargeback like you could if you were the victim of fraud and used a CC.

Hope this helps.

You can also use just a checking acc. they will do that.
It just takes a extra day for the e check to clear

ok, what i mean...
it says i need a credit card in order to put money into my paypal, i dont have a credit card, i DO have a debit card, and i have a SAVINGS account, not a CHECKING acount...

i guess what i am asking is, how do i get money into my paypal, so i can buy some stuff from others on here...

to email someone at paypal with these questions? I'm sure they would be more than happy to answer any questions you have.

As I read it you need a paypal account, go to paypal.com and sign up. AS u live outside the USA they will charge u 1.95, once this appears on your card statement it will give u a 4 digit code to activate paypal. Once activated u can go shopping with paypal.

I have used paypal once and used my paypal account and password online to buy a turborev. paypal take whatever u have in your paypal account first(was 1.95 that u used to sign up) and then debited the rest from my debit card. They hold your debit/credit details.

YOU don't put money into paypal, they will take it from you when u use your paypal account.
