Hey, this is my first post, but it is important. My friend involved me in something in which someone was "scammed" for 50$. She payed me, then I payed him. She did a chargeback, and I have a -50$. I also have a -19.99$ charge from the game I bought using the money (I found out later he scammed people). Now my account is limited, but I cannot provide any of the documents, because 1: They were non-tangible goods, and I am underage, and as such, do not have a utilities bill, nor a drivers lisence/ID. I just read the ToS (didn't read it originally) and found out that the reason this was being asked for, was that underage users are not allowed. I am wondering if I somehow get 70$ if I would be able to delete my account? Thanks for your help ~Lone.
(TLDR, I want my paypal account deleted, after I pay 70$ to fix a negative balance)

You can't close a limited account.
They limit it to stop you removing any financial info ie cards or bank accounts that you may use on another Paypal account.
They also limit it to freeze any funds if there are any to use if there are any disputes.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.

They will let you transfer the balance after a while, probably 4-7 months or so. At first they won't let me transfer the cash, but after few months they sent me an email saying now you can transfer the money 🙂 Paypal is so stupid. Never give your information to Paypal unless you're a big seller who is 100% dependent on them. but in my case, I will never give them any info. In fact, I can create another paypal once they limit my current one.
