If you're certain man, go for it. If I were in your situation, I'd probably sit down and cut my losses man, because fighting a huge company like that when you're not even old enough to legally be involved with them isn't the best idea, but you seem pretty sure of it, so goodluck man.

I guess that could be different then. But just a word of advice, you better prepare something for when they bring up your age, because that's inevitable.

Yeah Ik, but think about it this way.
Im 16, you have to be 18 to use paypal and sign the terms, yeah?
Since i am 16, the terms arent even applied to me.

Yes but since you accepted their terms you agreed that you were 18 and whatnot, which you're not, which is fraud.

But at the same time you signed an agreement electronically stating you were the required age to use there service. The only way you will win this case is if they realize it is cheaper to just pay you a couple hundred opposed to air fair and other travel expenses.

At the same time they can file an appeal to a different court jurisdiction, meaning they can take it to a higher court system requiring you to need a legal defense, then they could counter sue you for lawyer fees, travel expenses, etc. This could actually end up costing you more then its worth. And the whole "I'm only 16" doesn't work cause they can technically sue your parents due to you being a minor. Best of luck in your uphill battle though my dude.

Not to mention you are openly stating your guilt by stating your true age. You are stating you are guilty of committing a class C felony, 3-6 years if convicted and up to $20,000 in fines.

That's fraud on your part. They don't owe you shit to be honest. They aren't required to provide their service to you.

I'm pretty sure nothing will happen because you are not of legal age. But I hope this gets resolved.

They will try anything not to pay you:



Age 18 is the legal limit. Under age 18, you need your parents assistance. Note, this not PayPal just being mean.



When you open a PayPal account, you are agreeing to a binding legal contract. Before an individual can enter into a binding legal agreement known as a contract, he or she must meet the legal contract age. The legal contract age is also referred to as the age of majority, which is 18 years old in most jurisdictions.



Minors usually cannot enter into a legally binding agreement such as a contract because they are not old enough to be held accountable for their actions. if such an instance occurs wherein a party of legal contract age enters into a legally binding agreement with one who is not of legal contract age, the latter may void the agreement in the event that the terms and conditions cannot be fulfilled by him or her. However, if the party of legal contract age commits a contract breach, he or she can be held accountable to the minor who entered into the agreement with him or her.


Since you're 16 I think you're not at the legal age to have a PayPal account. I hope I'm wrong and you get your money back.

Well, you can be under the age or 18 and have a Paypal (legally). You just need to register it as a student account (account registered under a parent/guardian). However, I tend to not play by the rules.

You should win that money and send me something special.

PP is a huge company. You already committed fraud by having an account under the age of 18 so you shouldn't even be on there in the first place. If they can't win, they'll keep pushing it until you finally bore and stop trying to get your money. GG if by some miracle you win, but I don't see that happening.

Fuck. I have 2pps one under a fake name. I'm 13... am I going to get arrested lol? I also Se...
