PayPal Will this work?

I have just registered with paypal, giving my bank details but not debit card details. Bank account is not of course yet verified.
I need to receive a small amount of cash. If it is sent to my PP account, will I be able to withdraw it to my bank account today, or do I have to wait to be verified?
If I can, is it best the sender transfers cash from her bank to paypal and then sends it to my paypal? I believe otherwise there's a charge if direct from her bank to my paypal.

It depends on how you've set the account up, you probably won't know until you try.I have just registered with paypal, giving my bank details but not debit card details. Bank account is not of course yet verified.

Why can't you just do a bank transfer between banks, why use Paypal, or am I missing something?.0 -

You don't need to verify a bank account to withdraw money from paypal. This also has nothing to do with registering a card.
If you've just opened the account it's going to take 3-5 days to withdraw regardless of whether it's verified or not.
If your friend is sending from a UK bank, then it makes no sense to use paypal, just do a direct bank payment0
