My paypal account is currently unverified, and as such, I cannot send money. Would I be able to send money from my unverified account if the buyer used "Request Money" ?

You SHOULD be able to send money. I've done it tons of times with an unverified account (don't wanna go through all those extra hoops to have it verified).

Flip through all those tabs; should be a tab with "Send Money" or something similar.

Well when I hit "View Limits" on the main paypal page of my account it says
Quote:

Your Sending Limit is the maximum amount of money you can send through PayPal before becoming Verified. We ask users to get Verified to increase security for everyone.
Your sending limit can be waived by getting Verified. Get Verified by adding and confirming a bank account or getting approved for the PayPal Plus Credit Card.

Your Sending Limit is: $0.00 USD
$0.00 USD Remaining





To increase this limit to $2,000.00 USD, please add a credit card.

To lift this limit, please verify your account.

Learn more about Expanded Use.

That's strange. I'm not verified and I've spent a couple grand through paypal--never seen anything like that before.

Have you added a credit card? I havent and i think that may be why...

Yep. I added a credit card. That must be it.

If you have a PayPal account with no credit card or bank account attached, then it should be obvious that your sending limit is going to be $0.00...

Bah, I dont see the point to that limit. Ive got money in my account, I should be able to spend it.

Wait.


Now I see.

If for some reason fraud would be committed it would be hard to trace me down.

Quite so! I was also perplexed by this until I noticed you said bank account attached, which is what I have, but no credit card attached. You do need one or the other, however.
