Account was made with my real bday even though im < 18

So im currently 17 years old about to turn 18 this december. I tried creating an account with my actual birthday expecting it to be denied but it wasnt. Does this mean this account is ok to go, so i can add credit cards and so on?

Paypal does not allow account holders under the age of 18.

Your PayPal 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, unless customer services allow you to transfer the funds to a parents account?

You would never be able to use that illegally opened underage account again but once 18 Paypal may allow you to do a withdrawal of funds from that account.

OR they may allow you to open a new account and transfer the funds across for you. The latter option is not guaranteed as you have already broken their rules once but you should get one of those options.

I really appreciate the response, I'll look into my options. Thanks again.
