I know ive done it with an unverified paypal account.

why don't you contact the seller at explain you have an unverified paypal account and if you can still buy the item.

there is no need to give him the account. just buy it through ebay like everyone, i use paypal for all my ebay purchases, that way if i get scammed i can contact paypal and get my money back.
