Here is a quote from the Paypal.com Terms of Use located here

Eligibility. In order to use the Service, you must register for a Personal, Premier, or Business account. Users may only hold one Personal account and either one Premier or one Business account. Our Services are only available to individuals or businesses that can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, our Service is not available to minors (under 18), persons who are suspended from our Service, or to persons who present an unacceptable level of credit risk. In order to receive credit card funded payments or use the Service to conduct business or in conjunction with a business, you must upgrade to or register for a Premier or Business account.

So in short, yes

Then according to Paypal, you are not allowed to have a paypal account.

Maybe a little easy to answer question but what do people actually do with paypal and is it safe ?

[admin]

Paypal is an easy and very popular way to send and receive money over the Internet. It is safe (owned by eBay), but it's also a frequent target of phishing, so be very careful about clicking on any emails that appear to originate from PayPal.

Ok now i understand but how highly is the info given encrypted ?

I'll let paypal do the talking on this one:

paypal encryption

but none of that will help you if you dont pay attention and follow random links in suspicious emails.
