    I don't think so. I am doing business there I have to receive money from many customers. I cannot expect everyone is verified customer. Any experienced paypal users can answer please.

    Yeah, how would I know if it's a CC payment or it's coming from PayPal balance?

    Nope..I agree with chandan123
    Because lots of people use VCC to verify PayPal Account

    You can know if u use personal account...Because personal account can't receive the money from CC

    Well, it is a bit more secure to receive the money from a verified account, since the verification process has screened out many scammers.

    if you accepting from your personal pp id then it asks first to accept the cc payments so you can accept or reject but in premiere account it will be automatic approval

    if ur account is unverified i suggest verify it before paypal limit you!
    if the sender account is unverified and u want to recieve amount higher than $50 his account will be go to LIMIT and ur money will Go To HOLD..if he doesnt verify his acc u will never recieve the amount and in some cases paypal limit the sender and the reciever accounts

    Unverified typically means that there is no way to determine if the one who is paying you is who he claims to be. There is a higher possibility that he would have used a stolen credit card or illegal obtained money to pay you or it could just mean that he is waiting to get his account verified.

    It depends on what your risk level is. Personally, I would not bother with unverified accounts and refund the money. Had too much trouble with them anyways.

    The main risk is they can send payments through their unverified accounts, chargeback you and close their account open a new account. This is what scammers do.

    IMO, there's no risk in receiving payment from a unverified customer.
    They can't even make a chargeback...

    they actually can do a chargeback because the bank is the one who offer that option to their card holders. It is not something which paypal offers its members. So in short, whether your account verified or not, it does not make a difference as to whether they have the option to chargeback.

    Is it really $50 or country to country basis? So what about the verified receiver of the payment?
