I did contact PayPal support via Twitter. I have not linked a credit card account, since I created my account with my parents. I don't have a credit card account, and I'm not sure if they are good with linking their credit card for use on my PayPal. (I have a history with my parent's credit card.)

You can't share an account with your parents.

 

You need to link a credit card.
