So im 15. Ive been using my paypal for a few years now and recently starting using it a lot. They put a limitation on my account which basically is I cant do anything. I call then to see if they could remove the limitation and they said they can't because im not 18 and i was never actually supposed to have a paypal account. Has anyone else had this problem? I know there are a lot of people under 18 with paypals on ns. What do you do?
Thanks

you're lucky, i know Zac's (downtofilm) account was completely frozen when they found out.

Just get a checking account and debit card and link them. bing bang boom

I just made one with my parents bank information/credit card. Then I only spend what I have in paypal or I pay my parents cash and just bill everything to their card.

This exact thing happened to me. I called and said I was goin to refer them to the better business bureau and a bunch of other shit like that. After a couple calls they sent me a check in the mail. Good luck keep calling until you get to the higher ups and you should get your $.

vibes homie.

i just made an account like 2 years ago and never linked any accounts to it, just started by selling my gear to get some cash in it and worked from there...

i've never had any problems, but it doesn't matter cuz i'll be 18 soon enough.
