    It is taking a while to verify my PayPal account.

    Can others send me payments with my account still unverified? If so, is there a limit to how much they can send me?

    Also, can I buy stuff from ebay while my account is unverified? If so, is there a limit to how much I can spend?

    Yes, you can receive payments with an unverified PP as well. And you would see your limit on your PP.
    To buy things, some sites do accept unverified ones but some don't. So, try making a payment and check it out.

    Do you know the limit? I can't find it and someone is paying me a large sum at once so I want to make sure that all of it will come through.

    You can check it yourself by click on VIEW LIMITS in your Paypal account page.

    Nvm I found it. Apparently I hadn't verified my email so it wasn't showing, but now I have.

    I have a business paypal and setup with boxbilling. It doesn't let me receive payments from an unverified account. However, you can get payments if they send it directly.
