Paypal is like an online banking system. You can deposit money into your account via credit card or from a checking/savings account -- or all of the above! You can also deposit money into your banking account and send payments via paypal by sending it to the persons email address by clicking on the 'Send Money' button on the paypal.com website. It is all instantaneously done. You click 'send money' and type in the amount, and Jim Rob's Email address (or anyone else) and he receives it automatically.
Deposits and withdrawls from bank accounts normally take 2 days based on my experience with Paypal. It is also very useful for receiving auction payments on Ebay and Yahoo! In fact, if you have 'junk' sitting around the house, you can sell those items on Ebay, and use the money you make to donate it to Free Republic over paypal and never have to actually handle the money.
Paypal also has an extensive history list on its site on what you have done with your money so it's very useful to keep up with where your money has been going.
