Question about Paypal linking to bank

[Electrofy]

EVERYTHING HERE IS THEORETICAL

If you were to link a regular paypal account to a bank account that belongs to a minor, what would happen?

[sharpiemarker]

PayPal reviews and monitor accounts.  They ask for photo ID and other identification documents which the kid may not have and you cannot supply.  The account can potentially be frozen, and potentially ruining the kid's future opportunity of having their own account, when they come of age.

Lets say I am 16 years old, and I am using a normal paypal account. Can I link my bank account with my paypal? Or alternatively if my parents were to set up a student account, would I be able to use the email of the existing paypal account?

No.  You are not 18; you have no authority to use PayPal until you are 18.
