I do believe a savings account is fine but im not positive. I know with my checking account if I buy something using paypal or send money it will automatically take the money out of my account for me and when you get money you just use the withdraw funds function from paypal and it usually take a few days to clear into your account so dont worry if it doesnt show up in your bank account right away, If that helps any

savings will work, but it's more time consuming. you have to withdraw money from ur bank account and put it into the paypal account to pay for shit and that takes like 8 days (in canukistan). if u have a credit card then it changes

if you dont have anything in your paypal account it will just take it directly out of your checking account for you. You dont have to wait. Like if you pay for something on ebay through paypal it will take the money you paid right out without you having to transfer it

add both to ur account, then they deposit a small amount of money in your savings account, which you have to find out the amounts, then enter those on paypal to verify your account...
