Accelerated Onboarding Available: If desired, you can use an email address that does not have an existing PayPal account. PayPal will email you with instructions on setting up a PayPal account after the first payment is received. We recommend setting up a PayPal account directly on the PayPal site to ensure you meet all PayPal’s requirements for opening an account.
