jesus, i made an account on paypal so i could do transactions over ns much more smoothly...it started out fine, i made my first transaction smoothly, i sold something, got the money, etc. But now, my account is limited for some reason, so the money is just fucking sitting there and i cant do anything with it.

to get it un-limited i have to do a shit load of complicated steps, theres almost 15 of them!!

i have to type in social security shit, and credit card numbers, when i dont have either as i am only 15.(also i didn't set up my paypal with a credit card or social security shit when i started so why shoul i now) Also i have to give them a tracking number that i dont have any more from over a month ago about a transaction i made way back when, what the fuck? who holds onto that kind of stuff?

anyone else have similar problems?

I've ran into similar problems with PayPal but after a bunch of work I managed to get my account permanently closed. Good riddance.

dude do the steps, it just wants to verify and link your bank account so you can transfer the funds easier and quicker

I'm in the same boat, I have 55 Bucks in paypal that is untouchable, but I turn 18 in 10 days and get my bank account with me as the sole persona on it. And my money most importantly

Bank account.

That's why age matters for me, me madre is on my account since I started it when I was like 13, when I turn 18 she can get off my account. The only reason she doesn't want me to use the bank account now is cause she has a paypal account cause she lists stuff on ebay and it might conflict with that.
