Hey, let me elaborate,
Different countries have different permissions set by paypal I think. For e.g before they banned india you had to be verified to receive payments I think. Most countries can get verified by a CC. UK (where I am) is via bank only =/. So here you can recieve without being verified. So I'm not 100% sure as I don't know your location. But you most likely can.
Where'd you live by any chance?
