This was the message I got when trying to log in to paypal. Recently on eBay i started selling an item and I sold a lot of it at once. Almost $900 in a week. My account got limited the next day. I don't have any bank accounts or anything I just send payment over to my dad so I can get them in cash.

Unfortunately for me I am 16 years old. i now realize that I did not hit the age requirement to be on paypal. I understand that and know I am wrong in  this situation. I had no way to verify myself. But I just sent over a bill with my dads name on it. After a few hour I ot the message that I can't use Paypal anymore and i have t wait 180 days.... I don't think they know I am a minor.

My questions are.....

1. Should I call them and tell them I am a minor (would that help my case)

2. Since i don't have a bank account how will I get my money back in 180 days( can I send money to another account?)

3. Is there any way at all I can get my money back sooner would explaining my situation to them or telling them I will not open the account til I am 18 do anything.

Thanks in advance for all the help
