RE: Paypal
You would need a debit or credit card, but i'm not too sure. Someone correct me if i'm wrong.

RE: Paypal
paypal site says this:

What information is required to open a personal PayPal account?

To open a personal PayPal account, you must provide your name, address, phone number, and email address. To make payments using PayPal, you must provide a credit card, or bank account information

i'm not sure if that means you can use bank accounts, i presume so.

I think  you only need a crdit/debit card if you are making payments.

If you are receiving payments then you can just use any bank account.

RE: Paypal
where do you live?
in the UK with barclays you can have a debit card (i have one) and can use it at cash machines, to pay at shops, PAYPAL, websites, etc!
i use it.
as it is DEBIT card it means you can only spend what is in the account and not any mor e(though mine has been -£2 ish befoer :S)
credit cards allow you to spend any amount up to an agredd amount (ie: you agree £500 and can spend up to £500 that you dont have in oyur account) and then pay back over time.
if you are in the UK i suggest using barclays, but some other banks offer this service to 14 years olds and barcalys does some under that :O
