Many thanks for all the comments and favorites. I slightly updated the tutorial: New art, simplified some of the text! Enjoy!!
F.A.Q
Q. I don't have a credit card, can I still make a PAYPAL account?
A. Yes. You will need a bank account though! : )

A. Nope. So you can just start with your account with no money in your account. c:

A. Yes! Feel free to post it in your journal, the more people see it, the more people will learn how to use Paypal!
Q. If i'm the receiver, do I have to have Paypal as well..?
A. Yes! Both parties need a Paypal account to send/receive money.
Q. Can I send/receive different currencies?
A. Yes you can. You can select what type of currency you want to send! : )

What about the merchant services??? I have people sending me money by using the buying buttons that Paypal allows you to make, but for some reason, it's not registering any payments made. Any ideas on that?

So receiving money is as simple as giving someone your email? and that's it? (well, and username, too.)

Yep. You tell people your email address that is linked to your Paypal account, and then they can send you the money

Will i have to make a new E-mail for Paypal, or give one that already exists?

You can use an existing account for your paypal. Just use the email account you want to receive your payment/notification emails in

You do have to have a band account right? And when you're paid the money is automatically transferred to that...?

I do have a bank account. But it goes to your paypal first. You have to 'withdraw' the money to your bank account : )

Oh this is very helpfull! So if someone wants a commission I can ask for UK currency?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes you can ^_^ You will have to tell the person that you want pounds though, a lot of people will automatically send U.S dollars cause it's set to that currency ^^

Oh cool. Also, does paypal charge you to convert currency? If so does it only charge the person who converted it, or both?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it has a standard fee in general. So I guess the currency converter fee is included. When you want to send your money from your paypal to your bank account they will charge a small convertion fee : )

do they like have a fee for everything O_O
