Need Help w/ Paypal

[Eselyx]

Hey.

So, probably like many others here, I am under 18 and Im not allowed to have a paypal account.

Im selling stuff online, what I did till now was, I have 1 account where I received payments, and then send this money half to my own, half to my friend's paypal account. (Since we do sell this stuff together)

Now, the account where we received the payments got limited (Atleast we didn't had any money on it, all was on our normal accounts).

So thats not really a problem - We can simply make a new account to receive payments.

The problem is, once our normal accounts get limited, we basically lost all our money.

So, what can I do to prevent that? Since I'm just receiving money send to me from another paypal account, no real transactions/payments, I should be fine? Or does the money receive limit affects this type of money gain as well?

How are you guys here handling it? I guess alot of you are under 18.

Move all your funds to your bank account, PayPal isn't allowed to access that.

By the way, you're pretty much asking how to bypass a rule that's in place, its there for a reason, and they limit you to make sure you are an adult. They cant have kids using there services, unless on a student account.

Since I am not 18 I can't link my bank account without the realizing. So I need to keep the money on paypal till im 18 so I can withdraw.

This happened to me, so I just completely stopped using PayPal.

What do you use then?

I though about moving my paypal money somewhere else what allows me to move it back after a time.

For example you can use paypal to buy e-currency on a site and then sell it again/move it back to paypal, should be more safe than holding the money on paypal itself.

Problem is just, either you lose some % of the money, or these sites aren't safe as well.

Yeah, security measures by them for that exact reason, you aren't 18. If you get limited, it's your own problem because you violated their ToS.

Try asking your parents for one under their name, or (Less efficient, wouldn't recommend but I did it at one point) keep purchasing visa gift cards from giftcards.com ($3 fee I believe) and you can use them pretty much anywhere, and if your paypal gets limited you'll still have the gift cards.

There are people that verify them for you or you could get a stealth paypal account from someone

but of course it will cost $$$ (not to much though)

Do you have some links to people selling?

Im just afraid that those people can steal the account back someway and I end up losing my money as well.

When your account is limited you can do everything that a non-limited account can do except add funds. If I am wrong please correct me.

You cannot send or withdraw money. Means, once the account is limited and your under 18/you gave them wrong details, your money is gone

That screenshot I posted comes right off of PayPal's website. It seems to contradict what you are saying.
