    So i want to buy stuff with paypal, and im underaged, 16 almost turning 17, but anyway, i was thinkin of linking my bank account to paypal, and buying an xbox using funds form my bank, and the funds i already have in the paypal account. Will they find out that im underaged because i linked my bank account to it? Or am i free to link the account and buy what i want, this will most likely be the only reason i would ever ever use paypal, until im 18 or so.

    Get your parents to set it up. These accounts get frozen frequently.

    Not every one is going to get frozen. But, look through the Paypal forum here. I see frozen account posts here and on other forums due to underage account holders on almost a daily basis.

    I don't really see why they would though because they will be getting less money in the long term.

    I must say that use your parents paypal A/c after 18 years, Make your own paypal A/c.
