If a photo ID (usually doesn't have to be a driver's license) is required to open a checking account, you should be able to get one for your Dad at the "Circuit Court Clerk's Office in your county of residence". Basic Requirements for opening a checking account:
In addition to the basic contact information like name, address and phone number:
# Social Security Number for each signer
# Driver’s license or state-issued ID number, issue date and expiration date for each signer
# Account and routing numbers from a current account for transferring money into this new account
If your Dad has no plans on using PayPal or Fleebay himself, then go ahead and open a checking account in his name. Then attach that checking account to PayPal.
Hopefully, your Dad won't take the money and run. You could probably open the account in both your names.
