Hey guys! I'm really confused with PayPal. Do you have to verify your account in order to buy something online, etc?

I have been wondering about this too. Do you have to verify your account if you want to receive money, even though it's just a few cents?

For just a few cents, you don't need to verify your accounts but sometimes you won't be able to send the money or withdraw the money if you are unverified. There are some cases even though the rules said it is okay... That's my experience along with my friends.

If I can't redraw money anymore, and I do verify. I'm not going to lose my money right? Just another question.

To verify paypal account you need Credit card or a Debit Card. Some buyer or merchant accept payments from verified paypal accounts because of security reasons.

One can ALSO verify their paypal account by linking their bank account with it ,if they dont have access to a credit card or A debit card.But paypal doesnt accept all the banks,so be sure that the bank in which you have an account is accepted by paypal..

Yes I do. To be sure that I can spend and withdraw the money from paypal. You know, paypal has the limitation regarding the amount of money if you are unverified. That's why, to avoid having problems in and out of money or unreceived money, it is better to verify your account. It is easy.
