in today's video I'm gonna walk you guys
through the step-by-step process on how
to go about setting up a PayPal account
right now I'm on PayPal homepage and
I'll link the PayPal website right at
the top of the video description if you
want to click on that link to access
PayPal calm so the first thing that you
need to decide is whether you're gonna
go with a personal account or a business
account the vast majority of you guys
are probably going to be going with the
personal account now for those who might
want to go with a business account it's
gonna be if you're selling goods and
services with this PayPal account or if
you're gonna be accepting donations
those are the situations where you
probably want to go with that business
PayPal but the personal account is gonna
be great for buying goods and services
yourself online as well as having you
get the opportunity to transfer funds
between your own PayPal account and
friends and family at no fee charge to
you when you're transferring those funds
it's also a great way to hook up a
credit card a debit card a bank account
all to that PayPal account so you have
different options for paying for things
online you can also transfer funds
around between those accounts as well so
a personal account is probably what the
majority of you guys are gonna go with
so we're gonna go ahead and click sign
up for free so on this page what you
need to do is type in your legal first
name your legal last name as well as the
email that you want associated with your
PayPal account a password you need to
confirm that password and then click
Next so I'm gonna go through all these
steps myself and then take you over to
the next page then on the next page what
you're gonna want to do is type in your
personal address the city the state the
zip code and then also a phone number
whether it's your home phone number or
mobile phone number and then you need to
go through read over the e communication
delivery policy the user agreement and
privacy statement if you'd like to do
that and then you need to check this box
and then you go ahead and click agree
and create account so I'm gonna go
through these steps and take you to the
next screen that you'll get after this
one so then on this page it gives us the
option where we can either link a debit
card a credit card or down here kind of
hidden at the bottom it gives you the
option to link a bank account instead
it's going to be up to you which you
decide to link I myself with this
account
I'm going to link a debit card so I'm
going to enter in my information in
terms of the debit card number right
here the expiration date as well as the
CSC now the billing address it's going
to automatically fill in with whatever
you filled in as your address earlier on
in this process now if your billing
address is different than your home
address that you used in that earlier
portion of this application then you can
change that in this area but as soon as
you've entered in that information you
can go ahead and click link card and
then we'll take you on over to the next
page so I linked my card it took me over
to the next page with an icy green
checkmark here showing that it was
successful in linking that card and now
everything is set up ready to use for
shopping and sending money there's a ton
of different things that you can use
with a paypal account if you scroll down
to the bottom click on go to your
account and we'll actually officially
take you to your brand-new PayPal
account page and that's pretty much it
