How to Pay With PayPal Buyer Credit

1. Choose a retail website that accepts PayPal. If you are uncertain whether a site accepts PayPal, check the site's Help page. For instance, Walmart and eBay list PayPal as one of their accepted payment methods on their Help pages.
2. Pick the items you wish to purchase and proceed to checkout. Enter your name, contact information and shipping details in the appropriate fields, and select PayPal as your payment method. The page will change to a PayPal page.
3. Enter your user name and password to log in to your PayPal account. Once you are logged in, your PayPal credit balance will be displayed as an option for payment. Follow the directions to confirm it as your payment source and complete the transaction. The system will automatically deduct the amount from your credit balance and send you a message by email to confirm your transaction.

How to Use a PayPal Account

1. Register for a PayPal account. You'll need to enter credit card or bank account information, depending on the payment source you want to use. When you make a purchase, money will be transferred from this account to PayPal to pay the merchant. The merchant never sees your bank account or credit card information.
2. Log onto PayPal to pay for an item with another account holder's email address. If you purchase a widget from WidgetOwner@sample.com, for example, and he uses that email address as his PayPal account ID, all you need to do is type that in the seller box. Most merchants who have a PayPal account linked to their websites will have purchase information automatically transferred to the PayPal screen, so you won't need to type anything in manually.
3. Use PayPal when you win an eBay auction. Since eBay owns PayPal, it's the payment method of choice for the online auctioneers. Click on the PayPal pay link after you've won and follow the instructions. A window will appear asking for PayPal login information. Fill in your user name and password and you'll be transferred to the PayPal home page.
4. Set up a merchant or seller account the same way you set up a buyer account. PayPal charges a small fee for every payment sent to a seller account.
5. Protect your PayPal account and bank account security by checking your browser window for the secured PayPal site (https instead of http), and looking for the 'lock' symbol in the corner of your computer screen before you make a purchase on the PayPal site.
