Is it possible to have Paypal for people under 18?

Is it?
I really want to have one, since I'm under 18.

If it's possible, please show me the way to do it.

Thx in advance!

 

I believe so.

You just need a valid checking account or one of those check/debit cards.

I had mine before I was 18

 

Most definitely, I received my account when I was 16 I believe.

 

i think you have to be over be over 18 but i had mine when i was like 16.

 

Possible - yes. Legal - no.

If paypal finds out, you account can be suspended until you are eighteen and any funds that are in your account, can be frozen.

 

Why dont you get you parents to make one and then just use it then; once you turn 18 get the account transfered or create a new one.

That is probably the better option since it is legal.

 

I will try to ask my parents, but I don't think they will let me do it.

Well, thanks ya'll!

 

Taken from https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/gen/ua/policy_privacy-outside

 

When I join up i couldn't find any where that said there is any age limit

 

This thread is old but I'm going to reply anyways. Read their privacy policy and terms of use. I believe it's stated somewhere in there.

 

Ya paypal will allow you if you have a valid bank account or a credit card. It belives that bank people give account to the people who crossed their 18. So no problem

 

Assuming you are in the United States, when you get to the sign up page, there is a statement there that says

In the PayPal User Agreement, there is a Eligibility and Types of Accounts:

Unfortunately, this just proves that users do not read these agreements. I know most are mundane and most statements will never apply, but most users will at least skim the agreement for a few things, one I would hope would be eligibility.

 

lucky for PP holder outside US country.

 

You can use it But under the name of your parents .

 

I got mine when I was 14, just added my dad's bank account and withdrew to it. the account was still in my name...

 

I actually called paypal and they said you can be 17 because at 17 you can have your own bank account and debit card, but obviously younger people get them all of the time

 

Well i have a Lloyds TSB Visa Debit card and a Paypal account and i just turned 14

 

Nope... i entered my true D.O.B For my paypal. now banks are giving out VISA debit cards to kids as young as 11. that means i can go and buy what ever i want on the net

 

Yes, but if your card is Eftpos you cant shop online ANYWHERE....


Sux, thats why Paypal is a better choice.

 

it is risky because you may lose the account and balance if they ask for the document verification
to play safe, better ask permission from your parent to use their name to open the account
