No, you don't need to verify your paypal account to make transaction. Unverified paypal account are allowed to send or receive money. Paypal only limit the amount of your transaction. Indeed, there are some earning site require that we must have verified paypal account to receive their payment. You are not necessary to join such site. You can join others site that accept unverified paypal account, For isntance, here in mylot, you can get your payment in paypal without being verified.

As far as I have experienced it, the verification is needed, when you want to withdraw money from your paypal to your bank account or bank credit card account. As long as you get paid by anybody and as long as you spend your money inside the paypal system for example to pay for your ebay auctions you don't need to be verified. (A friend of mine has received payments on her paypal in Romania before it was verified.)

My paypal was not verified for long time, i did receive payments and got trasferred in my account. The purpose of verifying once account is to lift the limits. usually receiving $500 is the limit for a month. For verifying the address either you give your credit card number or paypal after the first payment, transfers 2 small amounts in your account, you just have to enter those amounts, your address will get verified. almost all the sites pay through paypal. sites which are open to the whole world of writers pay through paypal. country specific ones don't.

i think, it is not mandatory to get verified your paypal account. But, i really recommend you to verify it because you only can use $100 /month from your account if you don't verified. Besides that, you can't take out your money or stay intangible if you don't verify it.

If your country is listed in Paypal supported countries, then you don't have to get your Paypal verified as there will not be any problem in receiving money from them, though without your Paypal verified your monthly transaction limit is limited to $500 and you are not supposed to transact more than this on monthly basis and by getting your account verified, this minimum transaction limit will be raised

if theres no way for you to verify your paypal nor dont have option as your country is not supported with it then theres no way for you to withdraw the money to your bank to personally use it on hand, maybe you can use it to send money to co paypal members nor shop online or received monye from anyone else including payment of course from different site you joined but you cant withdraw it.
