I have my account limited, and i need to fax in details, only problem I'm under 18. What can i do? Can i change the name on the account?
Well this might not sound good but you've lost your money most probably. I think you might get your money after a period of 6 months. Not sure, try calling them and telling the truth.
I only had $30 or so on there, but i NEED paypal for sending money. How can i restore account without having to send away passport etc.
You really can't restore your account without doing that. The only way out is to get someone adult in your house to make an account and use his/her account just as i use my dad's account for i'm only 13.
dude forget it that u ever can get ur money i have my account limited i have faxed them several time but no help and phone support is just useles they are there just to talk thats al they dont have any power man i ha ve 600$ in ,ma paypal and all gone :-(
Sorry for usig this thead, but my case is similar. I have ecev few emailsfrom paypal, saying that they have removed my bank account details, changed my pssword and securiy answers. I then got another saying I had sent some money to someone but I didn't authorise or do this. What can I do?
Understand that if you doctor any documents, it would be deemed as cheating and you may not be treated nicely. Lying about your age would already be a breach of your contract with them, do not dig a bigger hole for yourself. Just consider the $30 lost and treat it as a lesson learnt for lying about your age. No, you cannot change your name unless you have done so legally in the courts. If you have the legal paperwork to indicate your name change, you can do so. Talk to Paypal and tell them that you are underage and that you are sorry for what you have done and see where they go from there. Do the right thing and redeem whatever reputation you have left.
Paypal will most likely hold the funds for a period of 6 months, and after that all funds will be released to you.
If they find out that its a duplicate account, they probably will limit it at first and if you fail to give the documents one again, your IP might get banned.
nopes , your little $30 gone bro , i fear , they limited one mine account too it has $800 usd , i faxed them about 12 times , no reply then i ask my frends to chargeback the money and i didnt replied there chargeback and paypal favour dispute in my frend's name and refund the money , then ,i asked my frend to make an account and used that , haha no money loss.
dont play with them explain them over phone and if you have bank accounts and creditcards they cant do any thing
Just be honest about it. Get your mum to fax her passport and a utility bill, along with YOUR passport to prove you are indeed underage. In the notes section of the fax page, get your mum to write something like the following: "My son is underage, and therefore cannot provide a utility bill and whatnot. I, as his legal guardian, am now faxing my passport copy and a utility bill under my name because I meet PayPal's minimum age requirement and I am responsible for paying the bills. Rest assured, the account will be closed as soon as the limit is taken off, and I will be making sure my son only signs up to PayPal when he is 18." And THEN you can get your mum to open her own account, and you won't need to worry about a thing, right?
Good idea, but to be honest i don't think they would accept that. What about if i open a new bank account, link that up, but use my mums name? Do they check the details from your bank account?
