Hey Guys! I was wondering, since I sell some old layouts (the ones I didn't copy) do I have to connect my credit card to my paypal account, so I can receive money from other people? Just wondering. Saying that, can anyone give me a list of requirements that I should do to it?

EDIT: Oh btw, is paypal secure?

You'll need to register your card if you want to withdraw funds from your PayPal to your bank account. Not sure if you have to do this upon registration though.

I think it's fairly secure. It's a good idea to get the buyer to 'claim & cancel' (Google it), as a safety precaution. If you do end up in a dispute with a buyer at some point though, PayPal are really weird so it's basically 50/50 as to whether you'll win regardless of whether you're in the wrong or not.

Oh thank you guys, I might just do it later... But one of my main questions was, do I need to connect it with my card to receive off other people?

I'm not sure if you have to connect the card during registration. If you've already registered without doing so, then you should be OK and ready to receive funds.

You won't be able to get the money IRL if you don't use a debit/credit card with your PayPal account.
