You need to check your paypal sending/spending limit. If it's still at zero, that means they've limited you and you will need to confirm and verify your account before you can use it to make purchases. Generally for verification, you need to provide proof of a bank account, and link it to your paypal.
I refuse to provide paypal with access to my bank account, so I verified mine instead by applying for a paypal credit card, and now make purchases using that instead.
There are ways of verifying your account by using a virtual bank account, but these can be risky as paypal has now been limiting any account in which there is activity they even regard as "suspicious."
If your paypal account says you have a sending/spending limit of $500, then yes, you should be able to send money and make purchases.
