You have to give PayPal a bank account to become verified (businesses
have an alternative, but not individuals).

They do not have my bank account, so I am not verified. However, I do
not have a spending limit. I think this is a result of their having my
bank account once, which I closed. They canceled the verified status,
but didn't set a limit.
