Go through the process of the pay pal sign up. Pay pal is very safe, I use it all the time.

Go to www.paypal.com and click on the SIGN UP link. If you're only going to use it for buying and selling, choose Personal Account. If you plan on accepting credit cards also, choose Premier Account. Fill out the form completely. The email address is the most important part. Make sure it's one that won't go dormant. That's your paypal sign-in. Paypal is very safe. You still have to make sure you are dealing with trustworthy people. On ebay, check their feedback score. I usually don't do business with anyone that has less than 99% positive feedback. Just making purchases on websites is much safer to use paypal than just typing your credit card into the website. In this instance, you can use paypal without having an account, but it's safer to have an account.
Once you have your account, be sure to confirm your address, since some seller's won't ship to unconfirmed addresses. You can also link a checking account to your paypal account, so you can have any cash in your account deposited directly to your checking account.
I also have a debit card that uses the funds directly out of my account.

Paypal is very safe. I have used it for years and haven't had a single problem. To sign up, go to
https://www.paypal.com/
and follow the directions.
