How can I add MY OWN debit card on paypal if I'm under 18?

Hi!

I am 16 years old. Is there any option to add my own debit card on paypal? I was thinking about making a Paypal Student Account but I'm not sure if I can use my debit card there. Also, when I tried to make one I had this error over and over again: A PayPal account already exists for the email address you entered. Please use a different email or, if you didn't want to create a Student Account, log in to PayPal.

So, can I use my debit card on a Paypal Student Account? Or is there any option to use it on paypal?

Student accounts are closing, so that isn't an option.  I believe it is the parent the needed to set up the student account.  Being less than 18 you can't manage your own account alone.

So that's why I had that error? Because Student accounts are closing?

Ok so if this isn't an option anymore what I can do then? Is there any option such as my parent/guardian permission to use my debit card or something like that?

what they are telling you is that you cant open an account on your own,you need your parents.

You cannot have a PayPal account when you are under 18.
