No, a PayPal account is not a credit card. You can register your own credit card details with PayPal and they act as an "intermediary", taking money from your card to pay sellers for your online purchases. PayPal do offer their own credit card now as well, but that is an entirely separate issue from a PayPal account.

∙ 9y ago- No, you don't have to have a credit card. If you don't have a credit card, you can use a debit card (which shows either the Visa or the MasterCard logo), a pre-paid card, or you can use your bank/checking account. If you find that you need to be "verified" at some point in the future - which most users will do - you will need to have either a credit card or debit card (with the Visa or the MasterCard logo) registered to your PayPal account.
- Yes, but you can use Debit card too, but not all debit cards are accepted by PayPal.

Another answer
You are required to have two accounts with PayPal. A checking account and a credit card. If you don't have funds in PayPal you can tell PayPal which account you want the funds to come out of.
Another answer
You are NOT required to have two accounts with PayPal. However, you must have a checking account already established with your bank prior to registering with them. When you win a bid and do not have sufficient funds in your PayPal account, they will deduct the money from your checking account if you do not want to pay the balance with your credit card.
Best Answer
Yes, you can. You would add the credit card to your account (if not there already), then set it up as a backup funding source. This way, the money is first taken from your paypal account (up to the amount there) and the remaining from your backup funding source (Credit card or bank account).
