I personally love Paypal. I use a prepaid Visa Debit card and Paypal to make ALL my online purchases. They offer great protection from fraud and scams. If for some reason you are unsatisfied with your purchase or heaven forbid don't recieve something you pay for, they will help you resolve the issues. Also, the people you are buying from never see your credit/debit/checking account info. I don't pay any fees when I use it this way either.

I fell for one once - it looked very "authentic" -
As far as I know, one can buy or donate from the moment one signs up.
Many sellers and buyers prefer to use PayPal - almost immediate transfer of funds is one of the main reasons - but it is not an absolute necessity in all cases.
