I earn money selling my old stuff , and I have around £120 in my paypal balance. When I sent in my passport they said I'm 16 years old and that I am underage which is true but I now have the problem of having money that I cant withdraw, does anybody know what steps I can approach. Kind regards, Will

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..
