What is PayPal?

In short

PayPal is a digital wallet that holds a balance you top up from a card or bank account and spend or send elsewhere.

PayPal is a digital wallet. You top up a balance from a linked debit card or a confirmed bank account through PayPal Balance, then send money to another person or a business, and withdrawals go back to PayPal Balance first. The service runs under PayPal, Inc.. Beruby is free to register for adults and pays the balance to PayPal, or by bank transfer for residents in Europe, once a confirmed minimum is met. JBJ Production Haiti adds a percentage fee plus a fixed PayPal fee, with a service fee that scales with the amount received. Cashback.pt pays an approved balance to a bank account or PayPal, and its pages list several payout times and minimums.
