    I need to get a paypal but my parents are idiots and think they'll get scammed in some way by opening me up a paypal account with their bank account.
    I've asked them to open one with no money in it but they won't do that either I've argued and complained but they haven't changed their opinion...
    What can I do to open a paypal account with no bank account?
    I'm 14 btw.

    You can open a paypal account even if you don't have a bank account, you can either use a credit or debit card.

    Yes, you can open Paypal account without a bank account, but status might be unverified (depends on which country you're from) without linking bank account and credit card details.

    Oh...btw, its against Paypal TOS to open an account if you're underage :eek:

    It doesn't matter I just want to have the money.


    I'm from the US.
    And If I don't have a bank account why do you think that I would have a debit or a credit card lol?

    Because in the US almost everyone can get a debit card (or prepaid card like netspend.com). There are SOOO many providers who give prepaid cards to unbanked people
