To pay online by PayPal, you first need to get a PayPal account.

A PayPal account can be associated with one or more sources of funds. These are:

• A person's credit card
• A person's bank account (either chequing account or Savings account)
• Money deposited in the PayPal account itself

When a person uses PayPal to pay for something online, the person specifies the source of funding (credit card, bank account or PayPal account).

The person can change the source of funding for any online payment.

Paying by PayPal is immediate (assuming the specified source of funds has the money to cover the payment). The merchant receives the money immediately, in their merchant PayPal account.
