Yeah I really messed up on making this account. Majorly. Essentially, I had never used ebay to sell anything before. So, when opening a paypal account so that I could sell something, I didn't really think much of it and just kind of opened it like I would open an eBay account, I suppose. Unfortunately, since due to some circumstances, I don't have a bank account yet, I was going to just use my father's bank account instead. This was very foolish of me. I did have his permission, but instead of having him open the account under his name, I opened it under mine. I've added almost no other info to the account yet, haven't linked anything else. It's just the name and I received $250 from selling a macbook air early in December, as we needed the money to give someone a Christmas present. After receiving the money, we got the verify your account thing, then I realized I majorly messed up, as all the info has to match the account name, like ID and such. I'm not sure if there's any way to fix this, as this was a major mistake and a messy one at that, which stinks as it was probably the only time I was ever going to use paypal, and now the money is already in the account and essentially inaccessible. I've emailed customer service twice about this, over a week ago, and received no response at all. If anyone knows anything that could help with this problem, or any steps I could take, please let me know. With best regards, Benjamin.
