Hi, I'm 16 years old and a frequent seller on eBay so I decided to make a Paypal account about a year ago to deal with transactions more easily. As you can see from my eBay profile: http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/astrobenny I'm a respectable seller with 100% positive feedback but due to the amount of money that was going in and out of my account, Paypal have requested ID to prove who I am and also my age. Anyway, since I can't provide Paypal-abiding documents since I'm underage and my account is limited, I can't even close my Paypal account! I only have £0.50 in my Paypal account so not really bothered about that but just not sure how to proceed. It's frustrating as Paypal doesn't seem to be in any hurry to bring "Student accounts" to the UK as they've been available in the US for a good few years now. I guess I could use my Dad's Paypal account if mine were to be closed but it's pretty inconvenient considering he uses it frequently and organizing a cash flow into his account from my sales would be rather painful...But what choice do I have 😛 How do I proceed? Thank you.
