Yes, you can still receive payments. But the only way that you can use the Paypal money is by using it through online purchases or payments.

Not having a bank account attached to your paypal account will not have any bearing on whether or not, you still can receive funds into your PayPal account. In fact, many people receive funds without a bank account including myself. In other words, bank account is not necessary for all people in all situations.

Yes, you can have a paypal account with no bank account attached to it. I started out that way and only recently added my bank account. Unless they changed the rules. You should email them to find out they usually respond very quickly.

My Paypal is connected to a local bank where I get the money. I wonder how you will be able to hold or receive the money if you don't have a bank. Where will you withdraw your Paypal money?

Linking your Paypal to a bank account or credit/debit card is only needed to lift the sending and withdrawing limits. This is basically what they call verification process. There are sites that do not require a verified Paypal account. However, due to increasing fraudulent activities accordingly of Paypal users, a lot of sites are now requiring that you have a verified Paypal account. So I guess to be on the safe side, I suggest you have your Paypal account verified by linking your bank account.

Yes! you can receive money in your paypal account without bank account but you can't able to withdraw your money through your bank account.That means you will not have any issue to receive money...

Hay Micheal, welcome to mylot! Well, one of the condition to have paypal account is you shall have a credit card or at least you have bank account, so i think it's difficult for you to register paypal account without have bank account, cos if your paypal account receive payment from mylot or other paying site you can't pull it. But, if you have a credit card, you can pull your payment. But, there are some paying site which will pay you directly from check so you don't need paypal account. That paying site are like writing.com or kind like that.

You will receive your payment in paypal even you not add your bank account. Your bank account is needed when you want to withdraw. If you not live in USA you should verify your paypal using debit card or credit card.

If you don't verify Paypal account, you can receive funds into Paypal but you can receive funds too much. You should verify Paypal account.
