Why would it not be worthwhile for him to get a Paypal account?
How often you use it should not be relevant.

Have the person in question send a check in the mail. Yes, it's a

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

Far as I can see, when you hit the log-in screen, you are also
offered to pay, without a Paypal account. Paypal then will just take
your credit card info once, and perform the actual transaction. At
least, this option comes up when I try to pay for items bought on
EBay. What you may want to do, is to send a payment request, to your
friend's email address, from within your paypal account. He then
will receive a mail message from Paypal, with all the info he needs,
and he then should be able to go ahead with a one-time payment. If
nothing else, why not call Paypal's customer service. They have been
quite helpful, the few times I have tried them.
