How to Send Money without Opening a PayPal Account

PayPal is a means by which payments and money transfers can be made through the internet. It is a quite popular method to send money because any personal information of the user need not be shared. Only financial information is shared with PayPal and not with anybody else. Hence it is a very safe way to send money to strangers. It can be used to make purchases online, send money and shop on e-Bay.

In some countries like Romania creating PayPal account is not possible due to government regulations. As a matter of fact sending money to someone online is not easy for the residents.

When you do not have a PayPal account and wants to send money to someone’s PayPal account, do the following.

Ask the person to send a payment invoice and pay him through your credit card. An easy way to do it is make a payment option for some service and let you pay him through that.

The exact steps to do it are:

1. The user has to enter his name and postal address.
2. He has to give credit card number, e-mail address and phone number.
3. After making the payment, the user can choose to save this information on PayPal account for future transactions.

PayPal's fraud prevention measures remain in effect for buyers who use this checkout. PayPal applies the same techniques for this checkout as it does for other transactions.

In short, it is possible to make payments to someone else’s PayPal account without you having your own PayPal account.
