The only alternative is for them to send you cash and you know that?s not feasible. If someone can?t even make the effort to open a bank account, why should anyone spend the time to come up with a method to pay those who don?t? This thread is ridiculous.

Paypal needs to verify the person's identity, and they usually do this when they can verify the person's credit card or bank account. I move hundreds of dollars a month using Paypal, and it's been great for me.

PayPal is an awesome system. Great for personal use, although sometimes not the most favored among merchants.

If you don't have a checking or savings, I don't see why you would sign up for PayPal.

Feh... guess I'll wait till 5th of December(i turn 18).... then I'll get a credit card

watch out world when that happens lol

a credit card wihtout a bank account??? cant see them doing that.

Also without a job, I'd imagine you wouldn't get a credit card for quite some time.

youd have a much ezier time opening a checking account granted you can toss 20 bucks into it :)

Also, in paypals deffense, it's not them that sucks, it's you for not reading the terms and for not having a bank account ;)

Even if you don't have a CC registered with your account on PayPal. If you have been sent cash and you have it on your account on PayPal you can spend it. :)
