I see that you can pay with a usa bank account. I am assuming it must be a debit cause credit cards are not accepted. My question is, I have a paypal debit card. I keep money in that account, can I use this to pay fees?

I apologize if this has been asked before..

I do not believe you can because you need a toting number and account number. That means it has to be a checking account.

You can not even use a debit or credit card.
