Your PayPal got locked?

Check edit

 

[Rahul.]

What even is that?

A limitation i guess

Your best bet is getting you or a parent (if your underage) to verify it with an ID. If it’s registered under your name they may require more info. Basically your out of luck until you confirm it. I never even got that option so consider yourself lucky

My parents would never do it
Is there a way to like withdraw to a bank or smthin

 

[Rahul.]

Not without verifying.

Oh god im fucked

Why won't your parents do it?

My parents are hella supportive of me making money.

Asian parents

Pretty sure the ID has to match the name on the PayPal account. I think I've looked into this before. If an ID is uploaded that doesn't match, there will be a lot of issues. Your parents would have to talk with PayPal support to get things resolved, but most likely you won't receive any of the money and it will just end up being refunded to your players. If you don't have ID to show then I'm assuming you're under the age of 18. If that's the case, how do you plan on withdrawing the funds anyways. I had to be 18 just to get my own bank account.

EDIT: It's important not to use PayPal like this if you're under 18. If you're running a server, talk to your parents. You need to be 18 because by registering a paypal account and transferring funds, you're adhering to legal responsibilities (you basically sign a contract). You can't do this unless your eighteen and there can be a lot of trouble. My best suggestion is contact support.... Or get a fake ID? lol

I’m 16 and have 3 bank accounts lol PayPal’s just picky

Are you from the US?

 

[OPNY]

Yes

Oh well then you have a joint or co-signed account with your parents. It's not legal to have a bank account only in your name as a minor in the US. In this guys case, his parents have no idea about this so it's definitely not as easy.

 

[OPNY]

Ah. Yeah all my accounts are opened under my name by my parents.

Yup thats exactly what I did too. I think in OP's case, he should probably talk to his parents and contact support. If all of the players who donated got what they paid for, then worst case he just loses the money as it could become permanently frozen... which would suck.
