Hello, sir. Why does the center place permanent restrictions on my PayPal account? there it said that I was under 18 years old. but in fact I am 20 years old and next February I will be 21 years old. Can you lift the permanent restrictions on my paypal account? I ask for your help sir. Thank You

Were you under 18 when you opened your paypal account?

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 permanently locked for further use.

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

So what about my balance in it, sir? Even though it's only worth 6 dollars, it's very valuable to me as an Indonesian citizen
