I have an unverified paypal account. Can I recieve payments and buy stuff online?

Question

Im using a personal acct. Im told u can send and receive.

But i cant add my atm card. Im from the philippines.

Answer 1

Until you successfully add a credit card or bank account, you will not be able to send any money.  You do not need to be verified, but you must at a minimum have a funding source.  Also remember, the only way to withdraw money from your PayPal balance is to add a bank account to withdraw to.

Answer 2

Nope, you have to be verified before you can do any of that fun stuff.  It's all part of the security measures Paypal takes.  There's way too much fraud and wrongdoing in this world.

Answer 3

There will be limits on sending and withdrawals (like receiving the money in your account by means of a check) until your account is verified. The send limits will increase as your account ages, and withdrawal limits are reset monthly. You can receive money from other people using Paypal regardless of whether your account is verified or not, but there is a 500$ monthly limit. This limit can be easily lifted by upgrading to a free premier account. With the premier account, people can also use their credit cards to send you money as opposed to Paypal funds only. There is a small transaction fee on credit card payments, but this is taken out before you get the money. So to answer your question, yes. You can receive payments and buy stuff using an unverified account (as long as you pay attention to limits.) Needless to say, just remember that you'll need money in your account before you can purchase anything.

Answer 4

No, you must verified your card first before you can buy stuff with paypal, meanwhile you can still received money from other paypal account.

Answer 5

In order to use paypal you need to link a card to your account, so no you can not buy anything online untill this has happend :)
