How do i send my paypal to someone

In answer to your question - it the same email address you use to log into your PayPal Account.

Note, if you are the seller, you should be sending the buyer a Request for Money or an email invoice.

Scam Tips:

One of the most common red flags is that the buyer wants to sent you the money via your PayPal email address. Normally as the seller, you are in control of the transaction, it's best that you send the buyer a Request for Money or email invoice. Or if you have a web page or site, direct the buyer to your web page or site to complete the transaction. Note as a seller, you should have either a Premier or Business Account and be using PayPal's Website Payments Standard. Else, you will run into limitations if using a Personal Account.

Next common red flag:
The buyer wants the item delivered to another country and/or recommends a specific shipping/delivery service of their choice for you to use. You pick the shipping that works best for you and be sure to get the tracking information.

Another red flag:
The buyer offers to pay more than you're asking and/or is requesting shipment ASAP to an unconfirmed address or another state or country.

And one more common red flag:
Beware when the seller wants you to send him the money for a purchase but, you are asked to send the money as a "Gift". This means that the seller is trying to avoid paying the transaction fees and also makes it hard for you to prove you actually purchased an item. If you try to file a claim per this scenario, you will loose.

Here's how you can protect yourself:
* Do not sell to non-US PayPal Accounts.
* Require a "Confirmed Address" meaning that the shipping and billing address must be the same.
* Opt to not accept eChecks.
* Block payments from Student account users under 18 years old.

These are all options you can enable from within your PayPal Account Profile. Be sure to take the time to check them out.

How Does PayPal Work and How Do You Get Your Money?

PayPal is an online financial service that allows you to send and receive money using a secure internet account. You simply add your bank account, credit card, or debit card details, and your bank account is linked to your PayPal account. 

Whenever you pay using PayPal, the money will come out of your linked account. And whenever someone sends you money on Paypal, money received sits in your PayPal account. Money in your PayPal account can be used when paying for something or transferred into your bank account. 

How to Use PayPal: Step By Step

Using PayPal is easy. Here is a step by step guide for how to use PayPal:

• Sign up for a PayPal account – go to the PayPal website and click Sign Up.
• Decide which type of PayPal account you need – a new page will open with an option to choose between a ‘Personal’ or ‘Business’ account. A Personal account is suited for buying online and sending/receiving money from friends. The Business account allows you to integrate PayPal into your online business offers. Select the type of account you want and then click “Continue”.
• Add your details – you now have to fill in your name, email address, and password. When you have added your details, click “Next”.
• Add your billing address – next, you will be asked to complete your address details. Once you have completed this, confirm that you have read and understood the user agreement. Click on “Agree and Create Account”.
• Get started – a new window will open giving you two options. The first choice is to start shopping with retailers who accept PayPal. The second is to send money to someone. Click on “Get Started” to link your bank account to your PayPal account.
• Add your credit or debit card – in the next window, you can add your credit or debit card. This will be the bank account from which PayPal payments will be made, and into which PayPal deposits will go.
• Shop online – when shopping online, you can use PayPal whenever you see their logo. All you need to do is enter your email address and password to make a payment.
• Sell online or receive payments – once a payment has been made to your PayPal account, PayPal will email you a receipt. You’ll see that you’ve been credited with the total amount minus PayPal’s transaction fee.
• Transfer money from your PayPal account to your bank account – to transfer funds from PayPal to your bank account, click Transfer Money. If you haven’t already added your bank account details click on “More” to check which bank account is allocated for transfers or add another account.

How Do I Pay Someone Using PayPal

A big part of knowing how to use PayPal is knowing how to pay someone using PayPal.

If you have no money in your PayPal wallet, you can still pay someone using PayPal. PayPal will just draw money from your bank account to make these payments.

Some people prefer to have money in their PayPal account itself. To put money in your PayPal account, log onto your account and then click “Transfer Money.” You can then transfer money to your PayPal account through the bank account linked to your account

If you want to pay someone, it’s easy to send it via PayPal. Click the “Transfer Money” option. Enter the amount and the e-mail address of the person who’s receiving the money. Then, hit “Send.”

Make sure you use the correct email address for the receiver. The e-mail address you use should be the e-mail the other person uses for PayPal.

What Are the Disadvantages of PayPal?

PayPal can be very useful when receiving money from strangers. Using PayPal means you do not share any of your bank details with the seller – the only information they get is from PayPal. Payments are instant so there is no more waiting for goods to be dispatched once a cheque has cleared banking.

However, PayPal also has a few disadvantages. One of the disadvantages is that PayPal charges high fees for non-PayPal payments. If both parties don’t have PayPal accounts, the fees can range from 1.9% to 2.9% plus $0.30 per transaction which can get very costly.

PayPal also automatically offers PayPal Buyer Protection which means you can make a claim to get your money back if goods you’ve paid for don’t turn up or they’re not as the seller described when they arrive.

The disadvantage is that if you enter into a dispute with someone and payment was handled by PayPal they will take over the arbitration process which can take a very long time.

Does PayPal Require a Bank Account? 

You don’t need a bank account to sign up for PayPal or to receive payments. 

What if I Don’t Have a Bank Account for PayPal?

If you don’t have a bank account for PayPal, you can still create a PayPal account and receive payments. Any payments that are made into your PayPal account stay in your PayPal wallet. You can use this money to make payments from your PayPal account. However, without a bank account, you can’t transfer money out of your PayPal account.

How Can I Use PayPal Without a Card?

You can give your PayPal account details to anyone who needs to pay you money. Once there is money in your PayPal account, you can use PayPal to make purchases online whenever you see their logo. All you need to do is enter your email address and password to make a payment.
