    Hello, I'm 17 years old; I have a prepaid debit card in my name, but my parents signed for me.
    Can I still sign up for PayPal? Will they be able to really tell how old I am?

    Yes you can still sign up.
    I signed up also when I am in your age and they dont ask how old I am.
    so i think yes you can :)

    There would be no problem for opening an account but the trouble would be tough to negotiate as and when your transaction behavior makes paypal suspicious to ask for personal identification documents.

    You can still sign up for paypal but its risky for you IMO in case any problem arise.

    DON.

    You have to be 18 to open a paypal account. I don't think there are any exceptions to this rule. Sorry mate.

    I suggest you wait unless you don't care about the future of your PayPal account.

    My PayPal account is precious to me because I'm a full-time ebiz guy with good record with PayPal.

    By signing up you claim that you are at least 18. Here is the user agreement:

    If PayPal believes you have violated this agreement, they can limit or close your account.

    If you are a resident of the US, your parents can open a student PayPal account for you:

    They usually hold your funds untill you are 18 if they find out, if not (more likely) you can just use it like nothing was happening

    Yes, you can open paypal account but to varify it you need to add bank account. If you are not able to open an bank account (as you are under 18) then you can check my signature

    Why don't you use VCC?
    It's more simple to get Verfd Paypal.

    Why don't you wait for one more year or else use paypal account with your dad's name on it. No problem at all as if they want you to submit any information (address,cc statement,id proof) then you can submit your dad's info at that time easily.

    DON.
