Hi scottsomhavareyes,
If you can't verify PayPal as an Apple ID payment method, you will need to contact their support for help: PayPal Contact Us.
The other option is adding a different payment method as described here: Add a payment method to your Apple ID – Apple Support
"Add a payment method on your iPhone or iPad
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap your name.
- Tap Media & Purchases, then tap View Account. You may be asked to sign in with your Apple ID.
- Tap Manage Payments.
- Tap Add Payment Method.
6. Enter the payment method details, then tap Done."
If you are unsure what other types of payment methods can be used, please see: Payment methods that you can use with your Apple ID.
Have a fantastic day!
