So, for some reason I can't send any money out of my paypal, such a shame, cause I wasted 35$ to get 30$ onto it.

I am too young to get my SSN/ITIN, so I don't know what to do.

Any ideas?
Adding a passport # doesn't seem to work either.

Other then asking my parents, which is a big NO, what can I do?

And, on what kind of documents are these things located?

It just saids I can't send money, and I got a few emails as well:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Reminder: We need your help
----------------------------------------------------------------------


Dear


We emailed you a little while ago to ask for your help resolving an issue
with your account.


What's the problem?

Before we can offer you certain products and services, federal regulations
require that we collect specific information to verify your identity. This
information includes your name, address, date of birth, and National Tax ID
or Social Security Number. We haven't been able to verify your identity
using the information you provided, so we need some additional
documentation from you.

Until this issue is resolved, you'll be able to log in to your PayPal
account but you might not be able to add money to it or use some of your
account features.

Case ID Number: ~~

How you can help

It's usually pretty easy to take care of things like this. Most of the
time, we just need a little more information about your account or latest
transactions.

Please log in to your account and go to the Resolution Center to find out
what you need to do. If we don't hear from you soon, we may limit what you
can do with your account until the issue is resolved.

Sincerely,
PayPal

I thought I could spend money on it still, but that isn't the case it seems.

Edit:

@Seven But I didn't do anything to make it limited (I think)

@Devour , I thought you needed to be 18 to get your SSN.

Nevermind, I guess I just have to find it. (Little chance of that, but it specifically asked me for my ITIN, so I really do not know.

ITIN most people don't have since it was made some what recently.

I'm 90% postive that you have to send in a photo id and prove to paypal you are who you say you are. Good luck.

Well that sucks, they wanted an ITIN, but I don't even know anymore.

I might just tell @Sector to send chargeback, since I can't use the funds. Or I might refund. But he is afk now

I doubt it'd help.
You have to provide government ID I believe.
What's the big problem with telling your parents? That's most likely the easiest way.

@Deuce cause my parents don't even know what PayPal is. There "old style" as one would say, and explaining this whole thing to them and then I'd have to explain why I spent 35$ on something (In their eyes) so pointless.
Just a really big headache.

Can't you just say you need them to fax their ID's for a Steam/Origin account and just fax it to PayPal instead?

Why not just ask your parents, they are the ones with your social security card more than likely anyways.

I won't charge back. Just refund that payment and I will hold it until needed.
