Getting a verified PayPal account is free, at least that is what they want you to think. Free is always an understatement. Nothing is truly free, there is always strings attached.
Here is a couple of ways to get a PayPal account. Some will be self-explanatory, others not so much.
Create Your Own Account Online
This avenue is easy! Head over to the PayPal website, click create new account then follow the steps. Input all your information as required then click to the next screen.
You will come to a screen asking for credit card & bank information. Many are hesitant about giving that information up.
With all the fraud surrounding PayPal, this step is optional and not necessary. See here for more information about using accounts without a bank: http://auctionessistance.com/use-unverified-paypal-without-bank/
There will come a time where money sent and received is limited; to which a bank and credit card must be added.
This is where we highly recommend a PayPal VCC (virtual credit card) and PayPal virtual bank account for the fraud conscious users.
Buying A Verified PayPal Account? That Is Absurd!
It may seem that buying a verified PayPal account is a horrible idea, but for many, eBay sellers who rely on PayPal for their business, it is critical to have a good standing accounts. There are various sellers that do sell PayPal accounts, but many are very untrustworthy.

If you plan on buying a PayPal account, make sure it is critical and necessary for one.
Many times, it is cheaper to create your own rather than buy one.
