PayPal ? Need help ASAP

How do i do this?

Go to a bank and open an account. Lots of them offer student checking accounts that are free. Make sure it's free to use and there are no monthly service charges. Make very sure you ask questions about the account (ever seen the bank of america commercials?), and read the fine print before you sign anything. You are usually required to make an initial deposit of some amount. Also, be sure you can carry a zero balance without being penalized (just in case).
 
* Call a few banks (stay away from Bank of America, they are fee-MAD!!) - Ask about TOTALLY FREE checking *and* what the OPENING DEPOSIT will be. When you find one with an opening deposit you can afford, you have to go to the bank to fill out the paperwork and sign the signiture card. TELL THEM NO CHECKS. You shouldn't have any trouble (unless you overdraw the acct.!!!) OH!!! You will need I.D.--Driver's License, Birth Cert. AND social sec. when you go to open. .'Kay??

* I'm assuming you mean the bank account?? You take your income that week and at the bank, fill out a DEPOSIT SLIP and give that and the money you want to deposit to the bank teller. She makes your deposit and gives you a RECEIPT. YOU *MUST* keep that receipt!!! GOT THAT-- at least until you check it against your monthly statement.
 
The easiest way to get money into the account is to have it connected to a bank account.

As others have said, find a fee free bank.

I told my bank that I just wanted an account for when I ordered online. Something that was separate from all of our other money - just in case the unthinkable happened.

They said "Ok I understand", I deposited some money and I was in business.

I connected my paypal account to that one and if you use paypal to pay for anything, they just deduct it from the bank account.

If people buy from you, they can pay into your paypal account. If you buy something and pay with your paypal account but not enough $$$ is there to cover your purchase, they automatically go to the connected bank account to make up the difference.

So, once you have a paypal account - open the bank account.

Clear as mud?

I have a paypal account and it works real easy. When i pay somebody with paypal it comes right out of my checking account. When i sell stuff on ebay or whatever it goes into my paypal account not my checking, then as i pay people out of the paypal account the money comes out of the paypal account first until its all gone then it starts coming out of the checking account. I use to sell a lot of stuff on ebay and kept some money in my paypal account, they will give you a debit card so you can get the money out of that account any way you want. It works real well i have used it a lot...
