Okay if I want to sell a laser or whatever else it may be and have the buyer use paypal to send it to me do I have to sign up for any of those services or anything? Or can I just have them send money put in my email address and hit send money? I don't need it to go to my bank account or wallet or anything If my paypal could just be credited so I could send it straight back out to someone else using paypal that'd be wonderful. Say if I sell laser for $50.00 and they send me $50.00 to my email on paypal will it just put $50.00 on my paypal that I can use tp send to someone else? Thanks all!

What you're asking is exactly what happens - No extra services needed.

Basically paypal is an online "wallet" that you can take money from a credit card or bank account (If you have that set up) and give to someone else. At the same time, Paypal also accepts money so you could have 50$ given to you for selling a laser, and turn around and use that same 50$ to give to someone else using paypal for something else.

Just keep in mind that buying and selling lasers is against paypal's policies. A few transactions here and there doesn't really matter (but there's always a slim risk I guess) But if you do mass quantities of transactions then there's a significant risk of them suspending your account, and any money in it, and demanding proof (invoices, receipts, etc) of what items your buying and selling.

In general, the shorter the time the money is in their system, or at least in your account, the better. If you have a generic account not associated with anything but an email address, and have a $0 balance.. there's not a lot they can hold over your head after all. However they limit the amount of money you can move through their system before they force you to have the account tied to a bank account, etc.
