Hi, I want to have a paypal account.

    I have a website that gets a decent revenue (well decent for a 15 year old). I need to know, since US paypal accounts have sending limits, and I would like to spend my money. I cant get a credit card or bank account so I cant verify a US account. So, if I create a turkish paypal account with a 500 dollar sending limit(unverified). Can I get in trouble for making a turkish paypal account even tho I live in US?

    You need to wait until you turn 18 before you apply for an account. If not, you'll end up being another person who complains about their account getting limited and having no way to get it back.

    Ask your parents to open one in their name. They can verify it with their credit card.


    Providing false information is bound to land you in trouble sooner or later.

    Well how about creating a PayPal with your own real info but use a VCC to verify so even if you have to give documents like utility bill you can send them because all of your other info is real !

    He's fifteen. More then likely, he wouldn't have any utility bills for quite a while. Also, using VCC's are never a good idea.

    no do not open paypal accounts for others because PayPal record the IP, ISP and other computer details during the time or registration... this can cause limited account access later after few months... but normally paypal dont limit a account for few months after the account was opened so that user dont get annoyed.... but later they will limit the account when they will see different ISP and computer details... so this will cause him more trouble without any reason he will get limited.... and since he is underage so he will not be able to submit any proof or CC statement.... so its better let him make his own account... its his problem and he has to do it by himself....

    you will always get in trouble if you use wrong details as there are huge chances of getting your paypal limited

    better open a paypal account by your 18+ family member

    thats a better option for you
