I’m 20 years old, I’ve recently sent paypal my ID and it turned into me getting banned from my account, I was born in 2003, PayPal is my only source of income I don’t know how to fix it and I wish I could contact anyone personally and if I could send proof if so, it’s been extremely frustrating and exhausting.

The point may be were you over 18 when you opened your paypal account?

If not then even if you were 30 when they discovered you were under 18 when you opened it, then it would still be limited as an illegally opened minor account.

I opened it at age 19, is when I opened my first bank account and linked it to PayPal so I was not underage when I opened it
