what I am trying to do is this. I have a friend who is not very good
with computers. He wants to buy a laptop from me. And he wants to send
me money through pay pal if possible. But he uses pay pal so
infrequently it would not be worth him having or getting a pay pal
account. He wants me to use my computer to enter his credit card info to
transfer the money into my account for the purchase of the laptop. He
just uses his computer for getting nls bard books radio email and
looking stuff up on wikipedia every now and then. Is there any way he
can get money into my pay pal account without having an account of his
own? If we can't work something out he said he can just send me a check
in the mail.

Hey Josh.
This is somewhat of a gray area. It really honestly depends on the
merchant. As a seller, you have the option to allow perspective
buyers to enter their credit card information. Obviously, the seller
never sees that information, just as they never ever ever see the
buyer's bank account information. It's done very securely either way
you look at it. As for the way that you go about enterring your card
info, this will vary from seller to seller, but generally speaking,
the concept is basically the same if they give you the option...
Essentially, there should be a form somewhere on their checkout page
where you can either A. Enter your card info, or B. Login/create a
PayPal account.
Quite honestly Josh, I'd personally go ahead and create an account,
then tie either a debit/credit card to it, or tie a checking/savings
account to your PayPal account to be used as a funding source. It's
incredibly easy to do.
You know what? You just gave me a really awesome idea! I should do a
webinar training session on the use with PayPal with a screen reader.
That's not a half bad idea, actually.
Anyway, I hope this at least helps to a point.
Feel free to give me a call later today if you get stuck.
Chris.

hi, do you need a pay-pal account to send money to people? can you
send it with just a credit card and no account, if so how? I can't
figure it out.
thanks
