that'd make me think you dont need an account.. because you can add credit cards and not add an account and still pay for items. i wounder can you still recieve a payment and leave it in your paypal to pay for other items? thanks man

ah thats grand so i can recieve a payment without a bank account added, like the account would just be topped up with the money recieved?

Yeah mate thats the way I used mine BUT after eather 6 months or a year they as you to confirm your bank account then you have I think 120 days to confirm and in the 120 days you can withdraw money but your still able to buy and sell stuff ! The only reason they what you to confirm your bank account is so make your Status: Verified. Also beware that your account has a limit of 2500 euro before u have to give them all your details including photo id, bank statement ect
