According to Major Nelson, this service is only available for Xbox LIVE users in the US and can only be used to purchase Microsoft Points on Xbox.com and not via the console itself. You can also associate multiple PayPal accounts with your Xbox LIVE account. To sign up:

If you are new to PayPal, please sign up first and then follow the steps below to associate your account with Xbox LIVE. It’s pretty easy and just like adding a credit card to your account. Sign in to Xbox.com and head to the account summary page. From there choose “Manage Payment Options” (from the left navigation menu) then click “Add a new PayPal Account.” Follow the instructions and you’ll be set up in no time.
