**gogobananas** · 10-30-2007

Before we get into it, I posted it here because most people try to use PayPal for buying gold/powerleveling, thus WoW related.

Alright, I know a lot of people have trouble using PayPal so, I've written this short guide on how to setup and use PayPal.

1. Head over to http://paypal.com (or your equivalent, I for example would head to paypal.com.au
2. Click Sign Up (Top of page)
3. You will be here:

Make sure you enter the correct details, and select personal account.
4. Fill in your details on the next page. This is pretty straightforward, you all should know your name and where you live..
5. So now you have your account. Now I'll tell you how to set up a bank account to your PayPal.
6. First off, you should set up internet banking for your bank account. If you don't have a credit card, don't fret- you can use any sort of bank card for PayPal. If you can't setup internet banking, thats ok, you'll just need a few trips to the bank :P
7. Click 'Add credit card' on the main PayPal page.

8. Fill in the details of your card. PayPal will send two amounts of money (around $1.00) to your bank account with 5-7 days. This is where internet banking comes in handing because you can just check it on the web. Otherwise, go to your local ATM and print out latest transactions.
9. Take the two figures that PayPal sent you and enter them on PayPal to verify your account.
10. You now have a working PayPal account

Sidenote: If someone asks you for your PayPal, you give them the email displayed on the main page.
