What is paypal?

[kuldeep]

Hey everyone, I keep hearing about PayPal, but I’m not exactly sure what it is or how it works. From what I gather, it’s some online payment system, but can someone explain it in simple terms? Is it safe to use for sending and receiving money? Also, do I need a bank account to use it?


Would love to hear your experiences with PayPal—pros, cons, and whether it’s worth signing up.
