    I just want to know if i make an account on Paypal then in order to receive payments on paypal do i have to attach the bank account in advance or is the bank account just for getting the cash... I mean is it possible that i receive money on paypal without adding my bank account to it and then using that money through paypal to purchase online??


    Thank you for your time

    Yes if you are not in USA then you can receive payment in your paypal account without attaching bank account to it. But you need to verify that account by using credit card.

    Yes, you can. Unfortunately you can't request a check or anything until you verify a bank account. They wouldn't let me, anyway. All you can do is receive money and spend it.

    Well, when you actually try to send money via your bank a/c, the page will show only US banks since you made account for US. Now, that can be a problem.

    Just make another account, this one better be in german. No problem if you can't understand german. Atleast the main things will be same. Try translating the language or refer to your old US account for understanding.

    No, you don't need to attach bank a/c in beginning. It is only when you feel you need the money in your bank, that you have to do so.

    From what I understand from HellFire81, in Germany, you would need to attach a bank account to Paypal for the main purpose of verifying your account. There are people who would not want to deal with an unverified paypal account as there is no telling if the person is out of defraud or if they are new. Besides an unverified account would be more subjected to investigation and may have some withdrawal or spending limits.

    For the unverified paypal account, you can only receive payments or cash into your paypal account. You cannot used this funds in ordering products or as your payments unless your paypal account is verified. You must attach your credit card and be verified into your paypal account.

    Note: In every purchasing products or as payments using your paypal account you will need to input your credit card information for continuing payment processing. :)

    Hope this would help!

    Well, i think you can very much do so. A non-verified personal account has been made for this purpose only-Shopping!!
    It is only when you need to withdraw the money, you have to present your bank account. If you don't want the money, you can do whatever i.e. shop or send money.... anything and everything except withdrawal.

    an option if you do not want to attach a bank account or a credit card to your paypal is to use a payment processor (e.g. Xoom.com). That way you can withdraw your money from their drop off points. The problem with Xoom is that it is sometimes unreliable. Not that they lose money or anything, its just that they fail to attain the speed that is connoted by their name. :)

    If you see a Top Up Account option in your Paypal, you can top up using your bank account otherwise you are out of option apart from selling something to get money in your account.

    If you have some time, go down to your bank and inquire about getting a credit card.
