underage account

i would like to revive and send money form my account but i cannot until i’m 18 and i am currently 16. i was wondering if anyone knew if there was a way i could have my parents control the 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.

You would never be able to use that illegally opened underage account again but once 18 they may allow you to open a new account. That option is not guaranteed as you have already broken their rules once but you should get one of those options.
