need help with paypal

[StripesAndFins]

need help allowing my account to be verified without my parents knowing and it must be absolutely free. Anyone who can tell me the best way to do this can earn 300FP$ and 1rep. I really need money!

Simple answer: you can't. PayPal does this to prevent money laundering. If you have a debit account you can hook it up to the Paypal account.

 

[StripesAndFins]

is it easy and free to make a debit account?

 

[Watch Me Sink]

Yes. You need your social security number and date of birth. Go to a local bank and ask to open a checking account. From there, you can deposit money and take it out with a debit card. You won't earn much interest on the money you put into the account though.

Meh there are ways, my parents approved of me getting a PayPal but didn't have an account for me to tie in to, so I had to find a way around it all. One word; NetSpend. Google around using that keyword and PayPal, you're bound to find a post outlining the full method. If you need help with it just PM me, happy to help 😉

If you can get a trusted adult or parent you can co-sign a bank account.

Yeah, I've had that done before, you'll then just need your account and routing number to verify it through paypal, thats the one thing your parent/guardian might not want to give you if they don't want you to have a paypal.

You don't even need a routing number, you just need a debit card.

You can if you have a bank account. At the end of the month when you get your bank roll or w/e, there should be a thing that says how much money was put in there twice. Then input the amounts 🙂

well, I've decided not to risk it and to not worry about the account. Since I think Leo's plan would have worked best, I'll give him the money + rep

 

[Leo Ghost]

The only thing you will need to watch is your mail, as they may send a card to you. For me this wasn't an issue, since my parents knew ahead of time. The card isn't actually active until you active it, though, so no worries there. If you play the cards right your parents may just think it's a free credit card offer :great:

thanks Leo

Could a mod please close this thread?

It might be worth noting that you need to be 18+ to have a PayPal account. If you are under that and they find out, they can suspend your account. It doesn't take much for them to suspend accounts. They have a reputation for being quite heavy handed and suspending a lot of accounts for many reasons.
