Help me get my $475 + avoid a limitation...
I just had someone send me a payment of $475 to an email address that I do not have connected to any paypal account. I was going to instruct them to send it somewhere else, but they beat me to it, and just sent it to the email that I use to address questions. Now paypal is asking me to register or something to claim it.
What exactly do I need to do, to claim that money without having the newly registered account limited? I'd rather not attach a bank account or credit card unless absolutely necessary. I don't intend to keep using that email address to receive payments. I just want to gain access to this 1 payment. I realize that I won't be able to withdraw the $ related to the payment if there is no bank account attached, and I'm fine with that. Once I have access to the $, I can spend it on ebay, or do anything else with it. I just want to know what the bare minimum is to gain access to it safely.
Could I just make a new paypal with that email, that is totally unverified, and unconfirmed, and safely spend that $?
Any insight is appreciated. Feel free to PM if you think your ideas would be better kept off the boards. Thanks!
