How do I make a PayPal payment?

Question

I have managed to open a PayPal account (my bank account is for a bank that is outside Zimbabwe), and I am interested to know how I can transfer/pay another person through PayPal?

They have an email address, not too sure if it is linked to their Visa or MasterCard (is this relevant?)

All help, assistance is greatly appreciated.

Paypal is awesome!! Anyway yea about sending them money. Assuming they have paypal it should be easy. When you log in to your paypal there are blue tabs with for navigation on top of the account overview. Click on send payment. It will send you to a page that will ask you for the receipient's email address then the amount as well as an option to identify the kind of transaction and in your case you choose " I'm sending money to family or friends". from then on I am sure it should be easy.

By the way if your friend hasn't linked a bank account or a card with their account they won't be able to withdraw the funds or use them to pay for anything.
