Signing Up For PayPal or Alternative eWallet Account
If you already have a PayPal account set up and active you can skip this part of the tutorial.
If you do not then you can learn how to sign up for a free Paypal account in this section of the training.
If you can't use PayPal as maybe it is not available to your country, or you don't want to use PayPal, etc. No problem! You can select to be paid by mailed check for your earnings or use the alternative eWallet we will provide on this page.
If you can use PayPal we will strongly suggest to use PayPal. The reason is that most of the companies that will send you work prefer to send payments to your PayPal account. This makes it easier for them to send out mass payments and keep good online records of their payments.
PAYPAL SIGN UP TUTORIAL
‡PayPal will work like an online bank account.
Money from the companies you will be working with will transfer your pay earnings into your PayPal account.
You can then link your personal or business bank account to your PayPal account for which you can then transfer the money directly to your linked bank account from your PayPal account.
If you do not have a bank account or do not want to link your bank account to your PayPal account you can have PayPal mail you a check directly.
If you would like to sign up for a free PayPal account we have a sign up tutorial. Before we give you the steps to sign up with PayPal we will let you know what to expect and requirements to use PayPal.
1. Click from the drop down menu below to see if your country is listed:
* If your country is not listed then you can refer to the alternative ewallet we provide below.
2. You must link at least ONE of the following to your use all the features in your PayPal account:
Bank Account: Personal/Business Checking or Savings account
or
Credit/Debit Card: Visa, Master Card, Discover, or American Express.
If you don't link one of the listed above, you can still receive money (limited amount per month). You would then request a payment by check from PayPal for the money sent to your PayPal account.
We will suggest to try to at least link a bank account which will not subject you to any limits.
3. Verify your ID: You will need to possibly need to send by fax/mail or email of two forms of ID to PayPal. One will be ID such as drivers license or passport, etc. The other ID will be a phone bill, utility bill, etc. to confirm your mailing address.
The reason we say possibly is because PayPal doesn't check all accounts. We will guarantee you when you do start receiving large amounts of money for the jobs you will be doing PayPal will then send you an email they need to verify your account.
4. Taxes: U.S. Residents will need to provide a SSN (Social Security Number) or EIN (Employee Identification Number). This is because PayPal will send you a 1099 for your earnings which will make it easy for you to track your earnings for taxes.
