PayPal lied to me? I'm happy for this!

[monRa]

I have asked Paypal this:

ok, but i didin't quite understand if somenone sends me 20$, could I use
them if i don't have added a credit card for buying in paypal sites like
domainsite and godaddy?
I need yes or no

and i got ans answer

Thank you for contacting PayPal. We apologize for the delay in responding
to your service request.

Unfortunately, you would not be able to send money through the PayPal
system if you do not have a credit card registered onto your PayPal
account.

But somebody sended me some cash and i could use them buying with paypal with having added a cc in my account but only a bank account.
Isn't that strange?
