I just want to use up the money thats in the account before it closes and i dont have anywhere to transfer it to because im under 18 and dont have a bank account! You're no help. ... View more

Yesterday i recieved an e-mail from paypal saying that student accounts are closing and im perfectly fine with that. But for some reason now I can't buy anything online. I've tried Amazon, steam, and google play but they all say that my payment method is in-valid or that there's a error. Does anyone know the reason to this? I haven't had a problem with using paypal to buy things online until now, and i would really like to spend the money i have on my account. I am using a student account. ... View more
