How to Find My PayPal Account Number
1. Log into your PayPal account.
2. Hover your mouse over the 'Profile' link. A drop-down menu will appear.
3. Click on 'Add or Edit Email.'
4. Look to the right of the email addresses in the column that says 'Status.' This will tell you which email address is the 'Primary' address. Use this any time you are asked for a PayPal account number.
How to Add Money From PayPal to a Prepaid MasterCard
1. Purchase a prepaid MasterCard and follow the accompanying instructions to activate and register the card with your personal information.
2. Call the customer service number found on the back of your card and request the account number and routing number of your card. Write this information down and keep it in a secure place.
3. Log into your PayPal account and click the 'Profile' link under the 'My Account' tab. Select the 'Add a Bank Account' option.
4. Enter the account number and routing number for your prepaid MasterCard, just as you would with a checking account. PayPal will then deposit two very small amounts of money into your account.
5. Call customer service again to obtain the information regarding the two deposits PayPal made and then log into your PayPal account and provide this information to PayPal as prompted. Your prepaid MasterCard will then be verified.
6. Once the verification process is complete, to withdraw funds, log into your PayPal account and click the 'Withdraw' link under the 'My Account' tab. Select the 'Transfer Funds to Bank Account' option, then select the account your prepaid MasterCard is listed under and the amount you wish to transfer.
How to Set Up a PayPal Vendor Account
1. Go to PayPal.com and click on the "Sign Up" link at the top. Businesses should set up a PayPal Business Account to operate as a PayPal vendor. Click on the "Get Started" button under the "Business" option.
2. Look for the "I want to sign up for a payment solution" drop-down menu and select "I don't know" to open up the "Find Your Payment Solution" screen. Click the boxes for the desired payment options and click the "Continue" button. PayPal makes a recommendation on the next page based on the selections.
3. Click on "Continue with this solution" on the next page. PayPal then opens a three-part account registration process.
4. Click "Go" under the first step and fill in all the information. Click the "Continue" button to return to the three-part registration page.
5. Proceed to the verification step. Check for an email in the email account entered for this new PayPal account and click on the verification link.
6. Enter the bank information. Each bank has its own routing number. Ask the bank for that number and also enter a personal bank account number. Follow PayPal's instructions to verify the bank account. PayPal sends a small amount of money to the bank account. The process takes about three to five days. Log in and enter the amount after checking with the bank. This completes the PayPal verification process.
7. Log in at PayPal and click on the "Merchant Services" option. This section provides the different ordering options used to integrate PayPal with a different website. Select one of the "Create Buttons" links, fill in the product information, and then copy and paste the code into websites to allow visitors to order.
How to Activate a PayPal Card
1. Visit the PayPal website. Sign into your PayPal account using your email address and password. Click 'Profile.' Your Profile Summary page will open.
2. Click 'PayPal Debit Card' link under 'Financial Information.' If you do not see the link, click 'My Money' and click 'Update' next to 'PayPal Debit Card.'
3. Click 'Activate Now' under your card. Enter your desired PIN. Choose whether you want to sign up for PayPal Rewards. This can earn you 1 percent back on all credit purchases. You can also elect to link your bank account to the card. Linking your bank account allows you to make purchases even if you don't have the required balance in your PayPal account, because the money comes out of your bank account.

How to Sell Music With PayPal
1. Start a Web page. In order to sell music independently, musicians generally need to create a Web page. The only requirements for this Web page are to give prospective buyers some information about the artist and the music. The musician may wish to put samples of his music on the website. Depending on the amount of money the musician wishes to spend, he can either register a domain and design a page from scratch, or build a page on a social networking site. The website should list prices for various songs and albums, which can be made available in a physical form, such as CD or vinyl record, or as an MP3 download, and a means of communicating an order, such as through email.
2. Open a PayPal account. PayPal is an online-banking site that allows members to receive and send money. When a person opens a PayPal account, he can send money to his account either from another PayPal account or from a bank account. A PayPal member can then transfer this money to his own bank account. Setting up an account is free and takes only a short amount of time.
3. Instruct buyers on how to pay you. When a buyer communicates to you that he wants to buy your music, use the 'Request Money' feature on PayPal. PayPal will then send the buyer an email instructing him how to pay money. After the buyer pays, the money will appear in your PayPal account.
4. Send your music to your buyers. After the buyer has paid, you have several ways in which you can send him his music. If he ordered a physical record, such as a vinyl record or a CD, ship it to him by mail. If he ordered MP3 files, either email them to him or make them available to him by uploading them to a file storage site and then emailing him the site address.
