You can get a Paypal account without a credit card. I think all you need is a bank account.
In fact, every time I try to buy something with Paypal, it defaults to taking the money from my bank account, and every time I need to change it to take it from my credit card. I appear to have a $10,000 limit on my Paypal account, but at Agilent's request, I split the transaction into two. That money came direct from my current account. Dave On 17 November 2012 22:06, J.
