Business account requires EIN, which I don't have

Long story short, I am a musician that created a Paypal Business account for Bandcamp. This type of account is what was required to receive money. However, in order to do anything with my account, I need to "verify the business" with an EIN.

 

I do not have (nor need) an EIN as it doesn't fulfill the IRS's standards of what a business is for tax purposes. Is there anything I can do to verify the account without one?
