If you opened a paypal account before you were 18, close it now.
Mr Queeba:
Managed to close my account through my PC. Goodbye, PayCrap.
Swollow:
can confirm this has actually happened to me got my account closed because I made it several years ago when I was 15, I didn't actually lose any money but my account got put into a permanent locked state, I've since opened a new account under different credentials because its integrated into so much godamn bullstuff
also can we talk about the awful password limitations on my account that is linked to my bank???
max 20 characters, no spaces???
behind the fancy ui scheme paypal is atleast a decade behind the times
Arekan:
PayPal is so necessary in online shopping that I'm probably going to have to use it, but when I do turn 18, I'm making a new account and never putting a dime into it. I'll do what my parents do, and make it take the money straight from my bank account, so if the account does get closed, they're holding no money.
Ipquarx:
Not sure exactly when I made mine, but it's an absolute necessity for me because many places only accept paypal or a type of credit card that I don't have, leaving me with no choice but paypal. I don't keep any money in it though, it's basically just a surrogate for wire transfers.
