Hi @smurfette222 ,
Thank you for reaching out to us.
Once you open up a Paypal account and confirm your email address, you can start receiving payments. You would be given an option to keep it in your Paypal Balance or transfer it to a bank. To keep it in your Paypal balance, you would need to upgrade your account into a Paypal Cash Account. (No fee needed to upgrade)
Most of the time, it will ask you to link a bank if your account is not upgraded yet since a regular Paypal Account is unable to keep a balance.
Here is a link that would explain the different types of account and what the features are.
Hope this helps! Stay safe.
