How to Use PayPal Without a Credit Card or Bank Number
You can have a PayPal account without having a credit card or bank account by purchasing what are called MoneyPaks. You buy them at brick-and-mortar stores, in addition to a service fee. You don’t even need to have a PayPal account at the time of purchase, since you don’t deposit the money in the MoneyPak until later.
