but it's an honest question, especially being on the net, everyone needs some way to send and receive money
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.
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.
