Use paypal without any of that bank/credit card stuff?

[ShootingStarr]

I didn't make a paypal account for nothing, and I remembered there being a time when you didn't need all that bank/credit card rubbish to use paypal.

How can I use Paypal for stuff like online purchases through online games and Google play and whatnot?

Because again: I did not sign up for Paypal just to waste time.

Using your PayPal Account without a bank account and/or credit card.   Yes, you can certainly accept funds - you may experience holds which can slow things down but, the money will be deposited into your account balance.  As for sending money and/or online purchases - there are limits in place for both sending and withdraws.  Note, some merchants and/or sellers only accept credit cards so there are some businesses you won't be able to deal with.  As for withdraws - you would have to request a paper check.  (Note, there's a fee, can take possibly two weeks and cannot be mailed to a PO Box.)   For full benefits of using one's PayPal Account, it should be "verified".
