Applying for a PayPal Account

For quite some time I've always bothered a friend to do my eBay transactions, mainly because I can't make the payments by myself due to the lack of my own PayPal Account. Recently I tried applying for my own account and was surprised that their new procedure was much easier than what I had thought... I was able to complete everything while multitasking during work hee-hee.

I also found a site that provides answers to most questions one would have when applying which was really helpful hence I'm posting a link to it ^^.
PayPal Application Instructions

The process can be broken down into a few parts:

• Creating the account - providing personal information and choosing account type.
  
• Verifying your email account - check email and click the link to activate or you can get the code and enter it in the PayPal account. (I used my Nokia N70's GPRS features to get the code for this step since online mails were blocked in the office)
  
• Attach a card to your account - to charge for your expenses.
  
• Confirming your card - You'll need to check the transaction PayPal sent to your account, it will have a sale description containing a code (e.g. PayPalxxxx where x are numbers). The easiest way is to check your account online, if not you have to wait for your statement to arrive. Since my account isn't enrolled and I can't wait for the statement, I called my card issuer instead and had the personnel check it for me instead.
  

With these tips you should be able to setup your PayPal account with minimal effort just like I did :).
