Limited Paypal

[yazan21]

My PayPal got limited and I was asked for photo id and a proof of address, the latter which I can provide but not a photo of my ID as I am underage. I was thinking of giving my ID a slight edit in photoshop but im not so sure that would be a good idea so I wanted to ask about it here. What is the worst case scenario if they find out I am underage? close my account? I have about 60 bucks in it, which i treasure because I dont usually make money online.
I thought about hiring a freelancer but that will probably require a payment upfront, which I cant do right now.
Did not know which forum to post this in so I put it here, sorry if i made a mistake. Any help is appreciated.

edit: not a usa account

Yes, if they find out you're underage, they will keep your account closed/limited.
In most suspension cases you would be able to withdraw your money in about 6 months.

I could probably wait that long but what worries me is the use of the word "most". Thanks a lot for your reply.

You have two options: Hire the guy in this BHW who makes fakeids with a changed age or forget about the account.

And the third option is to call them and be honest with them that you didn't read the rules carefully blablablah, these $60 mean a lot to you and if it's possible to withdraw them and forget about this account until you reach 18 and create a new one.

I would call, be honest, and tell your situation. Worth a shot.

Wouldnt this be dependent on the sympathy of whoever I speak to?

They dont care about your feelings. This is a business and if they feel you are trying to use them for fraud or hide money , they will ask you to verify yourself. This is mostly for people who send you money. It's a law enacted after 9/11. With paypl once you pass 200 sales within a year, they need to report you to the IRS and will issue you an 1099-k . If you are not even American and in a country that doesn't allow paypal , they will shut you down and you will lose any money you have in there.

I never said they do and you just had to bring all that up from nowhere. I am just trying to unlimit my account.

Don't call PP telling them your underage honest intentions. They're not a lifeline.
Either pay 30 bucks for fake ID if wanna keep the account or stay limited.

 

[shiv durga]

wait to become 18 year old and then provide your ID.
hardly they notice that you was underage while you opened account.

I think its better pay some bucks to someone who will fake ids lol

 

[rose46854]

I am sure you can get fake Photo ID paying some bucks & it works all the time with PayPal. Don't worry!

Is it possible buy something for the money on the account? If Yes ask friends what they need and buy that a change for cash... legal...

I made my previous Paypal account when i was 17. When i reached 19 i wanted to lift the limitations so i decided to verify the account with my bank and ID.
They later closed my account because i was underaged when the account was created.
I then gave them a call explaining the situation and they allowed me to create a new account and transfer all the funds.

Worth a shot... Just give them a call, don't use the support system... these guys aren't the smartest.
