I think Paul was referring to using Paypal without a credit card. My initial problem was trying to set up a paypal account from Canada without a CC. Paul has suggested doing so by setting up a US bank account. Then Tom suggested that he has been able to set up a paypal account using a TD Waterhouse account (based in NJ). TD Waterhouse will allow Canadians to set up a US bank account and provides a Visa like debit card which Paypal accepts, even though this debit card has no line of credit attached. The US debit cards are apparently much better than our Canadian debit cards. In your case Larry, you had no problem setting up paypal account because you entered a CIBC visa card number. Even though the funds are not withdrawn from your Visa, you still have a credit card on file so you are internationally verified for that reason. > Have you checked out HyperWallet?

I am going to check out Hyperwallet now. Thanks, Amber -- Mac Canada is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
