If you set up a Paypal account, they give you certain passwords, etc. Paypal will store your credit card or debit card #. Then when you order from somewhere, like Ebay or some stores, you can click on PayPal logo to have the payment go thru there. I found that almost immediately, PayPal has withdrawn the money from my checking account. ( I use debit card) I have had NO problems with orders when I go thru PayPal....

You probably have a personal PayPal account. There is no charge for these accounts. Someone else with a PayPal account can send you money and there is no charge as long as they do not send it via credit card. When I want to be paid via PayPal, I always specify in my listing that it has to be non-credit card PayPal.
If you have a personal account and accept a credit card PayPal payment to it (the website will ask for your approval before it is put into your account), your account will be automatically upgraded to a business account. Business accounts are charged a fee *every time* a payment is made to them, whether it is made with a credit card or not.
In order for someone to pay you via PayPal, they must set up a PayPal account of their own. I'm not sure what all the different ways are to set up a personal account. Mine I set up with an automatic connection to our checking account; it takes 3 to 5 business days to do the verification process for this kind of setup.
To actually make a payment, the person needs your PayPal email address. They go to the PayPal website, log in to their account, and then make a payment to the PayPal email address you have given them.

I send an invoice via paypal to their email address and they make the payment through paypal even if they do not have an account. Yes I am charged 3% for accepting payments.
