I was wondering if I dont have a credit card will I still be able to get myself an account at paypal? and will I be able to send it at my bank? Any pinoys here tried it out and still received their pay outs here in mylot and the rest of their online earnings at other sites? Other pinoys out there please help me out so I would know if I have to get mself a Credit card. Thanks and Happy posting...

I don't know about where you are, but I started my PayPal account a few years ago without either a credit card or a bank account It would be nice if you had one or the other but I don't think it is necessary.

I send it through PayPal to my wife, who does have a bank account. If it wasn't her, I'd find a friend I could trust and send it to them and then let them give it to me. Some of it I leave in PayPal so that I can spend it through them, usually over on Ebay

I'm currently using paypal without a bank account or credit card. Now I can only use my money online which I mostly use it for ebay, but if you have a bank account you can transfer it to your bank account or get a paypal debit card like my hubby has. You don't need any kind of credit card though.

You dont need a credit card. But you can have the money sent to your bank account. I dont have a credit card or bank account but i started a paypal.

YES. You can receive money online without credit card. But, you can buy online goods if you do not register a credit card. Not unless, you have receive a money online.
