Description
Please do NOT send me notes about this tutorial. Paypal has a great FAQ~~~~
Because paypal seems to be very confusing to a lot of people.
[Edit: Dec 5, 2011]
Many thanks for all the comments and favorites. I slightly updated the tutorial: New art, simplified some of the text! Enjoy!!
F.A.Q
Q. I don't have a credit card, can I still make a PAYPAL account?
A. Yes. You will need a bank account though! : )
Q. Do I need to put some money on my account before I start using it?
A. Nope. So you can just start with your account with no money in your account. c:
Q. Can I link this this tutorial in my journal?
A. Yes! Feel free to post it in your journal, the more people see it, the more people will learn how to use Paypal!
Q. If i'm the receiver, do I have to have Paypal as well..?
A. Yes! Both parties need a Paypal account to send/receive money.
Q. Can I send/receive different currencies?
A. Yes you can. You can select what type of currency you want to send! : )

This may be a terribly noob-y question, but will paypal send me any letters via mail? Like verification/confirmation letters etc. And if they do, is there a way to choose not to recieve them? I want to know this before I set up my account.

You will receive verification/confirmation emails for every transaction you do : )

I expected that, how about snail-mail?

I have never received anything from Paypal through snail-mail! : )

Is Visa included in PayPal? Or is it a seperate thing?
I've just started doing money commissions, but I don't know anything about it DX

Visa is a type of credit card, right? So then it should work : )

So you must have a credit card or bank account linked in your paypal?

I think you have to be 18, or you have to ask your parents to create an account for you! : )

It says I can't, because I'm under 18. How do I pay commissions with this, if I can't register well? I tried the personal type, but I couldn't, do to my age limit.

I am starting charging sketches I have never used a paypal before I have one and I would like to start selling some how do I get the money itself?

You create an account with an email account you already have (gmail/hotmail/yahoo-whatever).
Set up your account, and then all you have to do is send people your email address and they will have to go through the process of sending you money
It will appear in your account. If your account is linked to a bank account you use "withdraw to bank account" and you can send the money to your bank account!

I'm trying to get started on doing commissions, and I wasn't so sure as to how someone were to pay me for my art.
So all they have to do is just go on this tab, put the amount, give a simple message, and then send the money. Is that correct?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Don't forget that you need to give them your email, the one you use for Paypal : )

why does mentioning extra fees get the artist in trouble?

I want to purchase a premium membership, but I dont have a creditcard.
Is this also possible with a bankaccount? because when I try to pay it gives me the screen where I have to
put in my creditcard information

I am not familiar with DA's premium memberships, so I just checked out their page. But it has a little tab, for me at least, with Paypal as the option (it's next to the credit card tab).
When I click on the "Upgrade to Premium" it automatically redirects me te Paypal. There you should be just fill in the email address and password you use for Paypal and you should be able to make the purchase.
Hope this helps!
