[Suhailahmadwani]

Hey there, I recieved an email from paypal showing that i am under 18 so my account is limited, which i am not i can prove that i am above 18. I don't know how it happened may be i made a mistake somewhere. Is there anything I can do to resolve this issue.

I think the point is were you under 18 when you opened your paypal account?

If so then even if you were 30 now when they discovered it, you would still be limited as it would be considered an illegally opened underage account.

Paypal does not allow account holders under the age of 18.

PayPal asks for a birth date when you register so whilst you can make a PayPal account with false information the account will need to be verified to accept funds into your balance or lift any limits.

As you would be unable to verify your account it would be permanently locked for further use.
Minors can’t enter legal contracts so you may not have any recourse to get your money back until you were 18, unless customer services allow you to transfer the funds to a parents account?

You would never be able to use that illegally opened underage account again but once 18 Paypal may allow you to do a withdrawal of funds from that account.

OR they may allow you to open a new account and transfer the funds across for you. The latter option is not guaranteed as you have already broken their rules once but you should get one of those options.
