What PayPal is

PayPal is a digital wallet and payment service operated by PayPal Holdings, Inc. You link a bank account, a debit card or a credit card, or hold a balance in the account, then pay merchants and send money to other PayPal users without handing over your card details each time. It works in most countries and is accepted at a large share of online checkouts, which is where an exchange that supports it will meet you. The fee and limit figures here are PayPal's published United States consumer schedule; other countries have their own.
