I've had a PayPal account since i was 15 i don't know why people say you can't have it below 18 lol

Because their terms of service state that you're not allowed to signup unless your over 18. Not only does it have legal ramifications - if you scam, for example - but PayPal reserve the right to delete your account if they find up you signed up when you were under 18, even if you're over it.

Do you have a bank account? Most banks will allow you to have an account with a parent cosign once you turn 12. With a bank account you can accept direct deposits or bank transfers from an employer. If your doing freelance work or working with a smaller company I am unaware of any options.

The reason PayPal, Venmo, etc require you to be 18+ is to protect themselves. A minor to a certain extent can't be held legally responsible for their actions, from a business perspective it makes sense to restrict it to 18+.

Just have a parent sign up and use their account. Personally, I'm using PayPal and Coinbase exclusively, and I just convert them back and forth (and if needed, withdraw to a debit card)
