Paypal says you can withdrawal up to 500.00 without being verified. This is not true, for I am going through this right now. Even to request a check, you still must add a bank account or credit card. I cant even send one dollar to anyone. I think paypal should explain all of this to people, but they trick you into this by making it sound like its no problem as long as its under 500.00
I sold a product on ebay, I read all of paypal's rules first, and wasnt concerned because my item would sell far less than 500.00 Its when you click on the "request check" button, that you learn of this other verification process. In order to receive a check you must "verify" your mailing address by way of credit card. Paypal will submit a 4 digit code to your credit card billing statement, you must enter this code to request a check.
So basically, without a credit card or bank account, you cant never get your money. I have 242.00 that I cant even touch, unless someone has been here before, they shouldn't respond. Alot of the answers above are simply false, or based on the paypal terms and conditions that doesnt even cover the check requirements issue. If anyone doubts this, then try for yourself to get a check from paypal without a bank account or credit card, it won't happen.
