Well I suppose there is different procedure for verification of Paypal and it depends on country where you reside. For me, in India you compulsory need to have Credit Card for verification or else decline.

I made a dummy paypal account to try this and it worked!

Not trying to be a wet blanket here, but why go through all that trouble?

I cannot confirm nor deny that i have used underhanded methods like this to create an account. The whole problem will start coming when you want to withdraw the money. Once you go to that stage there will be times paypal will randomly ask for your documents. If you can't back those up then your money is as good as gone.

Of course if you do this you can't withdraw the money. However, you don't need to anymore. You could just *kindof* treat paypal as your small online bank account and spend the money there when you want to buy something online. I've heard of Paypal accounts getting asked for documents though. Just don't go around trolling about how Paypal scammed you of your money. You took the risk when trying this.

HAHAHA a bank account online now that is a new way of looking at paypal. My only qualms with them are the fact that they do stupid checks for the most stupid things.

I got checked by them when my account hit $100, now come on its $100 and they froze my account pending investigations???? During the course of setting everything right. They delayed me day after day until i threaten to sue them. Once i reached that stage everything suddenly cleared up.

Also note that from all the payments i received most of them send a note saying how happy they are to pay for my service. What other proof is needed then happy customers. One thing that got me laughing was when the paypal customer service told me that someone requested a refund. Since i had a whopping "ZERO" refund request i told them to double check. It turned out that he was looking at the wrong account when he was talking to me.

Good or bad you will have to decide personally if paypal is for you. Honestly if there were other payment gateways that offered the amount of freedom and ease i will be the first one signing up.
