Paypal help (in Off-topic)

So I've been forging for the last 3 months, saving up for equipment and whatnot, and suddenly this sale pops up on a MMORPG I'm playing. No hard feelings guys, but I need to sell some CB stuff.
I've never done any transactions via internet before, due to lack of credit/debit/etc cards, so I'm a bit lost on the whole Paypal thing. I've made an account, but my sending limit is $0 because my account is unverified. Verification requires a bank account or credit card so...
If I do sell CBD, is there any way to send money using Paypal without doing that step? Or does sending limit = current balance when unverified? Or perhaps, since the game website has a section for Paypal, I wouldn't have to click send money and the whole problem is moot?

(Yes, that game is Asian in origin, hence the need for real-life money investments.)

(And lol. MMORPG and CBD aren't in the forum spellcheck dictionary.)

You don't have a bank account?

I haven't needed one until now, nor do I have a "paycheck per week" type of job. I'm <18 btw.

Wow I a bank account at age 6. I highly suggest you get a bank account asap, as well as a checking account, they can be very useful and anybody who tells you otherwise is an idiot.

Also, maybe a job is what you need, so you don't have to sell CBD :P

There is no way around it and if there is, i wouldn't suggest doing it. Just go to your local bank, get an account setup (a lot of banks have offers where they actually give you money for setting up a savings/checking account) then once you find out all your info, paypal will verify your bank account and you will be all set.

Almost all sites where money is being transferred has an option to use paypal, so I would defiantly get one setup if you plan on doing buying/selling anything now or in the future.

So much inconvenience... Thanks for the help though. I'll see what I can do.
