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 locked for further use.
Minors can’t enter legal contracts so you won’t have any recourse to get your money back until you were 18 unless Paypal were happy to release it to a parent or guardian for you.
Consider what your goals are in the long-term so that you don’t back yourself into a corner.

the notification on my account was

    We need additional information to confirm your account details. Until you provide the requested information, some of your account features will be limited.
  • then a link

 

but when you click on the link you get

We're sorry. That page doesn't exist.

 

just about what you have come to expect from Paypal.

 

when I tried to post this with the link, I got this message
