Are you not able to provide the documents they're requesting for some reason? Did you lie when you created the account and say you were 18?

i didnt even see something about age, it was porably in terms and aggreements, i could get forms of identity but it wouldnt show as over 18.

Well per paypal - "Under age 18you need your parents assistance. Note, this not PayPal just being mean. When you open a PayPal account, you are agreeing to a binding legal contract. Before an individual can enter into a binding legal agreement known as a contract, he or she must meet the legal contract age." So maybe your parents can help you out? Why is your money frozen exactly?

You are most likely going to have to have your parents contact PayPal so they will unfreeze the money and send it to them. Sucks I know!

Hi @cjenn2004,

 

I'm sorry to hear about the account limitation! I wanted to jump in to save some effort on the part of your parents. Since they're not the account holder listed on the account, they won't be able to influence the outcome of the limitation. It's not necessary for them to call.

 

If you contact PayPal and let them know that you are not 18, they can help you with the next steps and let you know what to expect regarding the disbursement of the funds on the account. You can reach customer support by Facebook, Twitter, or phone or email.

 

I hope this helps!
