Anyone of you ever heard of this bs?
So just to be clear, my account was made in 2009. I'm born in 1992 so okay, yes, I might not have been 18. But I could use it up untill now (im 1 month from 24). Like, really? They let me use it for 7 years to tell me then that I shouldn't have made it back then and completely forbid me to use that account?? Yezus...

So... you specifically broke the terms of service when it said only 18 individuals and above... It seems like part your fault to be quite honest. I don't think you should of created the account in the first place being underage from what I understand correctly.

Was it limited or just plain closed? I've had my differences with paypal in the past, but in the end phoning support usually solved the problem.

Really, that is your response? I made it 6months too soon, used it for 7 and now I cant use it anymore because 7 years ago I wasn't 18. Rules or not, thats ridiculous...

I can withdraw my money still to my bank, so no worries, I just liked the acount, especially because of it being so old, now I need to go through all the holding funds bullshit, again,...

Luckily you can still withdraw your funds...
But i do think you're completely right, it's ridiculous.

The only thing is: when you look at it from a legal perspective, they probably didn't make any legal faults when limiting your account. From a human persepective it's ridiculous, but i don't know if there's a lot you can do about it  :-\

We are know Paypal is joke ,
By the way, i think you can still continue to use paypal service if you give them a good reason
Just go and contact them and tell them why you use paypal when you r underage , how you feel regret about that and how important that paypal to you
I not sure that this will work 100% but i saw few good example that success 

Not so good in telling bs to get what I want.
I'll make another one, but a premier I think, any thoughts on where I can start a premier account? Can't seem to find it (only personal/business)...

I'm confused right now, are Paypal only banned the account that you mention or completely banned you for using their service?
If they only banned that account, you should make another new one LOLLLLL
And for the premier account, i think business is the premier account

But if I want to make a business account I need all sorts of data of a 'business' that I dont have, I just want a premier account to trade all sorts of things

Hah thats so shitty situation. I mean its great that you can withdraw the money at least, but still, why they waited so long to tell you that you should not have made this account when being underage...

But as somebody said, you should write to support and explain that you are 24 (lol) and want to use your account, because you are going to make it anyway (or maybe you consider making one, but this situation seems quite sick and you are ot sure about it) ;)

Well they did explicitly say I should make another if I wanted to use paypal again. So I am not going to bother them when it can be easier, still bs though, but yea, thats life...

Paypal fees are too high, and the chargeback options is really bad, I prefer using Bitcoin than paypal.

The chargeback function is there with an reason you can thank all scammers for that. Accounts get massive abused when they don't have the chargeback function.

Good choice. I'm also sick of paypals crap. Ended up unlinking all my cards and accounts..

try to call them and ask to talk to some supervisor if they tell you there is none avalibel insinst that you can wait i think your case was just handeled by someone who have no clue or just not really care

It sounds crazy that they would lock you out after 7 years and you are now 25.  It must be some kind of program to check all accounts and has a glitch that caught yours.
