I am 16 years old and I accidentally made an adult account when I actually meant to make a teen account. I sold my skateboard on eBay and that’s when I realized that I can’t accept the money waiting for me because I need to put my ssn but I’m under 18. Can anybody help me to get my money back please???

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 may not have any recourse to get your money back until you were 18, unless you contact them and request funds being sent to a parents Paypal account, not guaranteed however.
