Incorrect.
Sadly you can't close or remove anything from a permanently limited account. Paypal limits it to stop you removing anything from it. They don't want you to be able to use anything linked to it to try and open another Paypal account.
You would never be able to use that illegally opened underage account again but once 18 Paypal may allow you to open a new account but that is not guaranteed as you have already broken their rules once so you would need to ask customer services. But you would never be able to use that email address again or anything linked to that permanently banned account.

As I said ....
you can't close or remove anything from a permanently limited account. Paypal limits it to stop you removing anything from it.
They don't want you to be able to use anything linked to it to try and open another Paypal account.
And again as I said...
You would never be able to use that illegally opened underage account again but once 18 Paypal may allow you to open a new account but that is not guaranteed
It wouldn't matter if you were 60 when they discovered you opened the account underage, from that moment it would be an illegally opened minor account regardless of your present age.

You can't use that email no, you could maybe use another email but only if paypal allow you to open another account, that is not guaranteed as you have already broken their rules.
And if you wanted to use that email then you should have waited until you were 18 and opened a legal paypal account then you would not have an issue now.

oh OK!
sure thing lemme just go back 13 years to 15 years old me and tell him he cant make an account on paypal even tho its not written anywhere.
really "And if you wanted to use that email then you should have waited until you were 18 and opened a legal PayPal account then you would not have an issue now."
do you not get laid or something? really what kind of answer is this?
and BTW i talked with support my account is now fully unbanned. and im good so....by all means u know where to shove it.
if this is your help i see why people hate PayPal.
you are both not helpful and misleading.
and if telling a 15 years old kid he cant make a PayPal. 13 years AFTER he made it is the "help" you can get then clearly u cant help.
good day.

1.2 Eligibility. To be eligible to use the PayPal Services, you must be at least 18 years old or higher based on the age of majority in your jurisdiction, and a resident of one of the countries listed on the PayPal Worldwide page.
You account is not unbanned as it is an illegally opened minor account so stop talking rubbish, all you can hope for is that paypal will allow you to open a new account with another email address.
But after reading this maybe they won't?
I can only give you the facts, not the intelligence to understand those facts so maybe your mental age is still 15 from your last daft post.
