Hi there and welcome to mylot.. First,you have to have a credit card or debit card preferably visa or mastercard for you to open up a paypal account..ofcourse you have to pay out an initial amount or payment for your newly opened debit or credit card account..Most banks are not associiated with paypal so you have to go to the site of paypal to check the banks available in your country.. After [rpcessing everything up on your debit or credit card you can now open up a paypal account..in activating your account paypal will charge you $1.95 but don't worry because paypal will give it back to your account after a week or so.. It's not totally a charge it's just for activation of the account..the only thing you have to spend on is getting a debit or a credit card but it's not that expensive..check your banks I guess.. Hope this helped you in some way..just visit the site of paypal for further informations..

There is no charge from paypal upon joining. In some countries a credit card is compulsory upon joining though. For other countries they ask bank account/credit card and for some countries neither of said options are compulsory.
