Need to change age?

Hi! I'm a minor and I opened my account with the intention of having my father being the primary owner, but I think I entered some information wrong and I need to change my age since PayPal thinks I'm an adult. Is there anyway I can do this without losing my account/my money?

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.
