Official site Paypal- https://www.paypal.com.

Russian-language interface for Russians, for Belarusians - at the moment only English version and I hope that this will be fixed soon, for Ukrainians there are several languages, but there is no Ukrainian and Russian.

PayPal can be purchased or withdrawn to WebMoney, Yandex Money, PerfectMoney, Advcash, Bitcoin and others through an exchanger electronic currencies: Kurs-expert or bestchange.com.

Please note that for different countries There are limitations in functionality, some of them quite significant.

For example, for countries - Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan:

  • Allowed - sending payments, linking a bank card, paying for goods,
  • It is prohibited to accept payments, as well as withdraw them to any bank account.

For clients from Russia, the list of services provided is larger:

  • Allowed - sending and receiving payments, linking a bank card, as well as withdrawal to a bank account in the USA and a local bank (became possible after receiving the appropriate license from the Central Bank), using Russian rubles for transactions and paying for purchases.

A little from the history of development. The beginning of its activities dates back to 2000, one of the founders of the company is a native of Ukraine. Initially they were engaged in servicing electronic trading. Soon (in 2002) there was a merger with ebay. As a result, more than half of paid purchases began to be made through PayPal, which seriously crippled competitors.

In 2015 eBay Inc. group divided and each side included in it began to work autonomously.

PayPal account features:

  • The most important thing for most users is the ability to make purchases online in most online stores that use this payment solution and pay for them using a bank card or account linked to your account. It does not matter what currency the card is in, since a conversion operation will be performed. The commission is paid by the seller himself,
  • For those who run a business - connect accepting payments from clients to your website,
  • Make money transfers to any person, knowing only him email address.

By paying for purchases using a Paypal account, you don't have to worry about the safety of your personal and financial data. Bank card details will never be known to the payment recipient, since the service does not send them. This allows you to pay for goods on a variety of sites, of which there are thousands, and not worry that your data will be stolen by scammers. In a word, PayPal is high reliability and customer protection.

If you do not receive the goods or their quality is poor, you can open a dispute within 180 days and then file a claim with the seller. Within 20 days, the system will make its decision on it.

If you see the company's logo on the website of an online store (usually located at the bottom), it means they accept them and you can pay for purchases. You will need to enter your email address and account password.

Paypal account registration

Registration with Paypal is completely free and without any commissions. Carefully monitor your browser status bar to avoid ending up on a fake scam site. The real official website of Paypal is https://www.paypal.com.

Pay attention to emails, which come on behalf of the company. PayPal always addresses you by your first and last name only. Also, they do not contain links to redirect to other sites requiring you to enter any personal information.

At the first stage, you will need to select which PayPal account you need (Personal or Premier):

  • Personal, if you use it for personal purposes,
  • Or corporate - for accepting payments from clients (only for individual entrepreneurs and legal entities).

Please note, there can only be one. In most cases, we choose a Personal PayPal account. In the future, if the need arises, it can be upgraded to corporate by carrying out a number of procedures from the profile - you need to click on the gear and select Upgrade, and then enter the data of your organization. But it will be impossible to return to the original status.

We select a country that cannot be changed, enter an email address that is valid only for one account, and come up with a password. If you want to have several accounts, then they must have different e-mails.

The password can be changed in the future by going to the PayPal website and going to the Login menu and selecting the appropriate item. You can change your email address by going to your profile settings.

A PayPal registration form will appear, where we enter personal data and your address. Since not all online stores support Unicode and to avoid difficulties when receiving goods, I filled out the form using translit, I advise you to use the translit.net service. Be sure to provide only real data.

In the future, the email address must be confirmed, which is already done in your personal account. Click on the Update button next to the email line and the message will be sent. Go to your email and follow the link and enter your account password. The icon will change its color and become green, like in my picture.

As you can see, there is nothing complicated.

If in the future the account needs to be closed and deleted, make sure that there are no balances on the PayPal account and no restrictions on the part of the company. Once deleted, you will no longer be able to restore it and all operations will be erased. To do this, go to the website, click on the gear at the top, select the Account Parameters section and at the bottom there will be a line Close account. Also, if necessary, we change the address, email, phone number here.


If you are interested in the question - where and what is the PayPal account number and how to find it out, then know that the company does not assign numbers to identify the client, as others do payment systems. The email address that you specified in your profile is the identifier that is required for payments and transfers.

As with any payment system, verification is necessary for security purposes and protection against fraud, and allows you to reliably verify that the client is the owner of the PayPal account. After completing it, the status changes to Verified. To receive it, we confirm your email address, link your bank card, and upload copies of your identity documents.

Attention. We disable and change the currency conversion at an inflated rate, and install it from the bank that issued our card. We carry out simple steps to set up exchange from personal account on the official PayPal website. I think everything is clear in the picture:

Linking a card to a PayPal account

For security purposes and to avoid fraud, you need to link your card to PayPal and confirm it. In this case, a certain small amount is blocked and in the statement of transactions you can see the confirmation code, entering which in the appropriate field on the site will verify that you are the owner of this bank card.

For this procedure, the amount is blocked in the amount of $1.95 or, like mine, 1.5 euros. The statement can be viewed in Internet banking or asked to be provided at the bank. For me it looked like PP7425CODE>*****>LU, which means the security code is 4 digits - 7425. Make sure that the specified amount was present on the card account, otherwise the request will be rejected.

The amount is not written off or disappears, it will return back to the card within a few days, usually no more than 5 days, but there are exceptions - you have to wait a month, depending on who the issuing bank is.

You will be immediately prompted to link it when registering with PayPal, but this operation can be postponed and done later by logging into your account and clicking on the Account button (Wallet) and selecting Add a card (Link a card).

You need a debit or credit bank card - Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Maestro. Since it is officially registered, any cards from issuing banks of the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation must be linked. If this does not work, check whether the operation function abroad and on the Internet is enabled. Or contact your bank branch.

Remember, each account must have its own card and you cannot link it to another account.
I added a Belarusbank Visa Classic card, everything went without problems.

To do this, select the type, enter its twelve-digit number, expiration date and CSC (security) code, which you can look at on the back of the card and consists of three digits.

Paypal conclusion

Only clients from Russia can withdraw money to a bank account. For Belarus and Ukraine there is no such possibility at the moment. Once a withdrawal request has been made, there is no way to cancel this action.

First you need to link your bank account to your profile and confirm it.

  • Go to your account and click on Account at the top.
  • The Add Bank Account button will appear.
  • We enter information about the personal bank account in Russian.

After this, the system will send two small amounts to him, about 1 ruble. These exact amounts must be indicated to confirm account ownership.

Follow the withdrawal limits, which can be viewed in your account. The minimum amount for transfer in foreign currency is 10 US dollars. There are no restrictions in rubles. The money sent is credited within 2-7 days.

Paypal commissions

PayPal charges a commission for the following transactions:

  1. For receiving payment for goods,
  2. Money transfer using a linked bank card,
  3. When receiving an international payment,
  4. When performing transactions where one currency is converted into another.

When transferring to another person, no commission is paid if the operation occurs from an internal account Paypal service. If it is carried out using an added card, then the commission will be from 2.9% to 3.9% plus another 10 rubles. This commission is paid by the sender.

There is no commission to receive, provided you are in the same country as the sender. If you receive a payment from other countries, the company will charge a commission. If the sending currency is different from the invoice currency, it will be converted and you will also have to pay for it.

The company does not impose additional fees for:

  • Purchasing goods in online stores,
  • When withdrawing money from your account to a bank account.
