How to Use Paypal to Send Money

1. Go to the Paypal site.
2. Sign up for an account. If you are using Paypal to send or receive money, there are no fees. In addition, Paypal pays dividends on the money you have in your account.
3. Add a credit card if you are going to make purchases with your Paypal account. This way if you don't have enough money in your Paypal account for a purchase you can always use your credit card. Paypal will bill your account. You can also send money this way.
4. Put in your bank account information. Letting Paypal have your bank information allows you to pay or send money using your checking or savings account, if you don't have enough money in your Paypal account. Alternatively, if the merchant only accepts Paypal then you can transfer funds to your Paypal account and then pay through this.
5. Use PayPal to send money to your family and friends. PayPal makes your life easier. You have 100% protection against unauthorized payments sent from your account. On top of this, they pay you interest on the money that you have in your account.
