    i couldnt find a better section to ask this , here goes anyway

    i am a student , i dont have a credit card account

    i wish to start a paypal account for donating money for some sites and for buying stuffs at ebay

    so can i just apply for an icici credit card ( or something better ? ) and after recieving it , i just start a personel paypal account and verify the account by using the credit card number i recieved . correct ? did i miss anything ?

    so after that i can buy stuffs from ebay/ donate etc by using paypal from the credit limit of my card ?

    If you want to receive donations through paypal, Paypal contract denotes that you need to have a Premier or Business account.

    You need to be over 18 years old and must have a credit card in order to use Paypal effectively. Otherwise you will be isolated to an unverified account with limits.

    Do not use VCC as they are banned here because most of which time, the one selling the VCC have no license to sell them and they are a complete abuse of the Paypal verification process. With a VCC, you are basically using someone's else identity to claim to be your own. In short, in the real world it may amount to identity theft. A good ground to get your account limited. In the real world, it may even give you serious jail time but at least paypal does not report you to the law enforcement agency for that.

    Of course, the Credit card is the best option.

    Correct. You can send people money for purchases and donations with a personal account.

    Yes, you can send donations with your personal account to someone else but to receiving donations you need a business or premium account.
