You need a bank account only when you want to withdraw your money from paypal. You need a credit card to verify your account in order to be able to send and receive money from/to your paypal account.

If a business will accept Paypal then you should be able to use your paypal account to pay for services. Having the debit card gives you more flexibility because it is a Visa debit card and Visa is accepted in places that don't accept direct Paypal payments.

Hi, Absolutely you dont need your credit card to make online purchases through Pay pal. You can buy anything that too without any charges/fee from the money credited in your pay pal account. But to transfer the fund you need to give them a minimum of $ 5.00. I have purchased three things through pay pal.

You can buy virtually anything online with paypal as long as the onlineshop accepts paypal. Yu need to find out first if the merchant you intend dealing with accepts paypal.

LOL, let say you can buy almost anything with the money in your paypal account. Not everyone accepts paypal (or any e-currency) so you will have to make sure that the places you want to make purchases from actually accept it. If they don't you can always have the paypal funds deposited to your bank or have a check sent to you and then make your purchases. I have made many purchases with my paypal earnings so I know it's a well liked payment processor. It's also used by many of the sites I'm currently earning with, so it's nice to get my payouts faster. :)
