I was told to have a parent create a student account for me to use paypal since I am only 17 years old. My father made me one through his account. I have alot of funds in my account from transferring money from my old account that is now limted because of age. The problem I am having is that I cannot spend this money on any website because we do not have a bank account to link to my student account. Everytime I try to make a purchase on eBay it says this exact message, "Before you can make purchases online, your parent must add a bank account to their PayPal account and confirm it. Ask you parent to log in and finish setting up your Student Account." Now I have a plentyful amount of money that is just stasis that I would really like to spend. Is there any way I can activate my account without having to link a bank account to it because I do not have one. Can I link a debit card to it or something?
