Question about a PayPal account for a MC server store.

[Tongy124]

Question, as I’m planning on making a MC server in the future, I’d need to get a business PayPal for the servers store, but I’d have to get it setup under my parents. How would I go about doing it as I’m under 18 so I can’t really make a business account. What would I need to do to reduce the chances of getting limited and actually being able to use the PayPal and to withdraw funds to a bank account. And also does the billing address show up when someone buys something through the store as I don’t really want to set it to my home address.

Hey,

Hopefully this paypal thread should help answer your question. https://www.paypal-community.com/t5/My-Account/Age-requirement-for-individual-accounts/td-p/615057

With the thread in mind, PayPal has nothing to prevent a minor owning a account. And if your account did get limited you could always get your parent to verify that it is their account. I have previously owned business accounts and haven’t had them limited, and im below 18

Hopefully this helps to solve your question

I would suggest just telling your parents, have them open the account as if it is them, and once Paypal makes you verify once you make enough money, which you will, its only like 100$, then you use your parents ID or SSN or something to verify it is them.

The key is keeping the story straight from the beginning, make the PayPal name their name, birthday their birthday, ect and you will be fine.

I wouldn't recommend creating an account while under 18 years-old. People lose a LOT of money that way, and there is no way to recover it. I'd recommend asking your parent/guardian and they'd allow you to use their account/create an account.

But, don't put them in debt, watch out for chargebacks

People don't see your home address,
I'm not sure about the business account but I was able to do this when I wasn't 18.
Is there an error message that you have to be 18?

For PayPal the minimum age to have an account is 18.[DOUBLEPOST=1575271039][/DOUBLEPOST]

Parents account is the best and only way to go. PayPal always finds out if you are underage.
