When yet get a bill you either the minium or you don't.  When you don't, then penalties will be applied.

You could pay that amount, but if is less than the minimum required amount, you will be charged a penalty and more interest.  Eventually PayPal would close the account and submit it to a debt colllector whilch will find a way to collect the funds you owe.

Once the account is turned over to collections you would no longer be able to use PayPal again and the debt collectors will hound you until you pay.

That's the way debt obligations work.

The way to erase debts is to go through the bankruptcy process.

Minimum payments are for a reason.  You could look for a debt consolidator separate from PayPal, but that would have significant costs.
