Have the person in question send a check in the mail. Yes, it's a bit slower
but, things will not get hacked in the process and, it keeps the
relationship on a business level.

Subject: Re: paypal question
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
