Can I, a teenager, get a Paypal account?

I think I need one for Triond, but I don’t even really know what it is. (My mind=something vague about a bank card, AdSense, and a cartoon animal with $$ for eyes, lol) Anyway…requirements of paypal? Or could I hypothetically have my own paypal account but have it under my mother’s name? –Anywho, thanks in advance ^^

You need to be 18, but if you’re not old enough, you can have a friend or family member collect your earnings for you. My Google Adsense goes straight to my bank account though - never had to go through PayPal for that.

Answer #2

Yes but know that their terms of service forbid it. Say that fraud happens and they have to find you and they end up with a teenager, the parents are now responsible for their kid’s actions. The Internet can be a scary place.
