Can I receive and spend money using only my PayPal Balance (unverified bank/card)?

Hi everyone, I recently opened a PayPal account to sell some Discord server templates online. I don't have a credit card or a bank account to link right now, so my profile shows the "Link a bank account" alert.

My questions are:

  1. Can clients still send money to my PayPal email address, and will it sit safely in my PayPal Balance?
  2. Can I spend that balance directly online (e.g., on gaming websites or buying digital gift cards) without linking a card or bank account?
  3. Are there any specific limits or risks of getting my account locked if I only use the balance?

Thanks in advance for the help!

B580 with 450w

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to upgrade my old RX 570 8GB to a new Intel Arc B580. I’m a bit concerned about my current Power Supply and I would like your expert opinion.

My Specs:

CPU: Ryzen 5 5600 (Stock cooler)

GPU: Intel Arc B580 (planning to buy)

PSU: Enermax MAXPRO II 500W (EMP500AGT-C) - 80 PLUS 230V EU

Technical details of my PSU:

It’s a 500W unit with a single +12V rail rated at 38A, providing 456W on the main rail. It has two 6+2 pin PCIe connectors on a single cable.

My doubts:

Intel recommends a 600W PSU for the B580, but my total system draw should be around 350-370W. Is the 456W on the +12V rail enough to handle the spikes?

I’ve heard the B580 software readings show ~120W, but the actual TBP is closer to 190W.

Is it safe to run this card on a 500W "entry-level" PSU considering I also have 3 drives and 4 fans?

Thanks in advance for the help!
