Nope, you can set up a personal PayPal account without providing a Social Security Number. However, for business accounts or if you hit certain transaction limits, they'll ask for it.
Forget the SSN for a basic PayPal account, but they'll need it if you're doing serious transactions.
I set up my PayPal without an SSN and it works fine, but they did ask for it when I started receiving more funds.
