    Hi,

    my grandma is willing to support my bachelor life from time to time and since she lives far away from me I thought the best way to receive some founds from her would be to use my paypal but she refuses to make an account for herself :(
    is there a way for her to send me the money using paypal anyway?

    It can be done when you sell something. I don;t know about when you transfer funds from one account to the other.

    If the buyer does not have a paypal account, he/she can still pay for his purchases without setting up an account.

    But like I said, not too sure about transfers.

    Set up a web page with a PayPal "Buy Now" button. She can click the button to pay you online via credit card and does not need to have her own PayPal account.

    Another way (not PayPal) is for her to open a bank account and send you one of the ATM cards. We did this to send money to a relative in another country. We would put money into the account and she could withdraw from a bank machine.

    What country are you in? Canada has a great Email Money Transfer system between the major banks.

    Is your grandma a techno-granny?
