Paypal is a method of paying for something. Most sellers on e-bay collect their money thru Paypal. It's a protection for both seller & buyer. You can create an account with Paypal & use it to send money to pay for something you are purchasing or to send as a gift to family member, etc.
Paypal verify's who you are by depositing 2 small $ amounts into a checking account that you attach to your Paypal account & then you must log on & tell them how much the deposits were. You can use a credit card to make a Paypal payment, but they then charge you a 2.9%, plus $.30 transaction fee for each payment you make.
