Is it possible to have Paypal for people under 18?

Is it?
I really want to have one, since I'm under 18.

If it's possible, please show me the way to do it.

Thx in advance! :)

I believe so.

You just need a valid checking account or one of those check/debit cards.

I had mine before I was 18

Most definitely, I received my account when I was 16 I believe.

Possible - yes. Legal - no (http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/gen/ua/policy_privacy-outside#introduction).

If paypal finds out, you account can be suspended until you are eighteen and any funds that are in your account, can be frozen.

Why dont you get you parents to make one and then just use it then; once you turn 18 get the account transfered or create a new one.

That is probably the better option since it is legal.

I will try to ask my parents, but I don't think they will let me do it.

Well, thanks ya'll!
