On the same day that you open your PayPal account you can start receiving payments.

  • Opening a PayPal account takes less than five minutes and you can start sending payment requests and receving payments on the same day.
  • You can receive payments from over 200 countries where PayPal is available.
  • You have access to 188 million potential customers all over the world.

But… I need a website to sell with PayPal, right?

You do not need a website to start receiving payments, instead you can:
  • Send payment requests via email and allow your customers to pay with credit or debit card, wherever they are.
  • Send customized invoices via email.
  • You can review pending payments and send reminders.
  • And, the currency conversion is done automatically.

If I receive a payment with PayPal, do I have to file a tax return?

Receiving a payment with PayPal is the same as receiving a payment in cash or via any other payment method. The business is required to meet its tax obligations regardless of how it receives payments.
