Paypal does not allow account holders under the age of 18 and your parents do not have the right to counteract paypal rules.


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 would never be able to use that illegally opened underage account again.

Paypal may allow you to open a new account when you were 18 but not guaranteed if you break their rules now.
