It is used through a credit card or linked to your bank account. I believe linking to your bank account makes you more legit, I could be wrong. I am pretty sure it's free. I have yet to be charged. Have you been to the Paypal page? Start there. I believe your questions will be answered.

And I can take your thread off topic if I feel. I'm pretty sure you have no control over me. So Snowcase, how'd you get fucked out of $2,000? I am curious, because I use Paypal, and wouldn't want to get fucked.

I sent money then found out an hour later the person I sent money to had already scammed someone so I immediately opened a complaint. It takes 3 days to withdraw money from a paypal account. A fucking MONTH later I got an email from paypal saying they sided with me but there were no funds to return. If they had acted WHEN I OPENED A COMPLAINT I would not be fucked over currently money wise.

After looking around it turns out paypal has fucked over thousands of people the same way and their main advertising point is how safe it is to use them. Did you know paypal reserves the right to withdraw money from a bank account or credit card if you owe THEM money but won't do shit if something like what happend to me happens.
