I'm underage and they limited my acc - I'm gonna lose $1, 500!

What was the money for?

From your bank to pay people, or money you have made?

If the first, sorry man!
If the second, start again.

I use my mums paypal account because Ive only just gone 16 myself.....its safer than being found out to be underage.

 

Money I made...ill get fake id lol

 

ouch! Isn't it usually a 1800 number?

 

Yea but in the help resolution center or whatever they gave me a 1-402 number :\

 

Hey, can't you contact the people who have paid you to ask for a refund. Then ask them to make the payment again to your parent's account. This will not work if you got the payment from a large number of people or if most of it was donation. If you made the money by doing some service, then I think your payers will do this small help for you.

 

Some is even on hold for money exchange and unhappy clients right now.

 

Thats really bad. Hope you will manage to get back your money.

 

What caused your account to get limited, if you know?

If it was due to getting a bunch of transactions, or an increase in volume, you could probably wait 6 months and they will release your money.

 

Bunch of transactions and they called asked if I authorized a transaction I froze and said no really dumb day lol

 

So is it really a unauthorized transaction and did u try to call paypal staff.

 

No, I said it was at first because I thought that I was gettin into shit but I called back and explained its not and yeh...

 

Hmm, if it gave you a 1-402 number, you're not in the U.S.

You'll NEVER learn.

 

Get yours parents to do it for you, thats what I do all the time !

I hope the problem is sorted out really soon for you mate, PayPal Limit a lot of PayPal accounts!

 

So why did you use paypal if you were breaking their TOS? Seems like it is all your fault and they have every right to shut down your account.

Be a man, getting your parents to do everything psh...

 

Lonely up there on your pedestal. Teenagers can have a bank account if there parents will back it. Why can't they have their own paypal account? Its a really pointless technicality that doesn't serve any purpose. People can get around their verification process really easily anyway.

 

Its serves a major purpose, because minors cannot sign legal contracts. If you could link a minors paypal account to their parents, then I would not see a problem with allowing minors to have a paypal account.

 

Agreed with drig.

 

I cant reverse time sorry your not really on topic so to say...

 

Try this,

Refund the payment ( only after talking to the person who sent you the payment ) and then resend it to your mom's account.

sorry no time to read the entire thread have read only first few.

Else,

You have to pitch your parents in it and try to prove them by providing docs stating that this transaction has nothing to do with any business and was a mistake committed by you.
