People aren't paid on their credit cards. They may be credited, but that's not payment for services.

What you're referring to is called a Merchant Account. You can either get one yourself, or go through another party that handles a lot of the work for you. PayPal can accept payments. You aren't required to have a credit card to have a PayPal account.

The money resides on your paypal account, until you offer methods to withdraw the money from your account, alas debit.

PayPal is essentially an online money-transfer agent. If you want to withdraw money from it, to your own bank account you need to give them your bank account details. I should ask how old you are?

Credit cards are entirely different thing so get that idea out of your head ;)

To get money online, you'll need a chequing account with your bank (in most cases).

You could also sign up for a service such as 2CO ( http://www.2checkout.com/home.html ) and be able to receive credit card payments and then have 2CO send you a cheque so you don't need to provide your banking details online. Hell, you don't even need a bank account for that because you could always cash a cheque without needing a bank account.

But for the sake of simplicity and convenience, I'd say just go to your bank, sign up for a chequing account, and then give PayPal your details in your account profile.

Then once you receive PayPal money, you'll be able to withdraw that money to your account for a fee.

All the details, as mentioned, are on the PayPal site.

My Debit cards ( Master cards ) are Not being accepted by paypal.
Bank Maneger Told That Sometimes Master Debit card doesn't Get Accepted

Since no one on these boards are Paypal experts, I would reiterate what has been said many times in this thread: Read the Paypal documentation.

As a reference, Paypal acts, in some sense, like an online bank. When money is received into your Paypal account, you can do one of a few things with it: 1) Leave it there for decisions later, 2) withdraw the money to either a bank account or to a check written to you, or 3) spend the money out of your Paypal account with merchants that accept Paypal as a form of payment.

But before you throw out anymore Paypal/banking/money related questions, please visit the Paypal site, seach for, and read, their documentation and see if the answers aren't there first, as no one here is a Paypal expert.
