Cobb Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 Ok, so I'm getting really pissed off that I can't access my account. I was thinking of calling them just because I want I to be able to buy stuff off of eBay and what not but at the same time I don't want to get into any "trouble". Has anyone ever called them before about forgetting your password? If so, what all did they ask you? It says this on their website "After you have verified your identity, we will provide instructions on how to log in to your account." I assume that means your name, age, address, etc..??

deestillballin Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 If you set up security questions it will ask you them. Or the last 4 of the account you signed up with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multi-Billionaire Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 Let me help you out... I use PayPal regularly. But no promises. Here's what I'm confused... you fear PayPal would find out your age if you give that info to acquire your password. But my question is: how did you register successfully in the first place if you put your age when you registered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my question is: how did you register successfully in the first place if you put your age when you registered?Because I put like 1989 or something so it'd seem like I was 18. Oh well, I'll just make a brand new one. I'll miss my $30 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multi-Billionaire Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 So do you forget the e-mail address or password? Or both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multi-Billionaire Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Then just click "Problem with login?" And then choose "I don't know my password" under "What's the issue?" and enter your e-mail address Then a link will be sent to your e-mail, open the link and it will ask you to verify one of 3 things:- Security questions- Bank account number- Credit or debit card number Surely if you forgot security questions, you do know your bank account/ credit card/ debit card number??

It's fine though, I'm just going to wait three months until I'm 18 to make a new account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HipHopHead Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Just call, the worst that can happen is they don't give you the money and the best is they could give you access to the account... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trutrojan8 Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Best case scenario: You get access to your account, $30Worst case: You're literally in the SAME EXACT situation you're in now Call them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted June 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 You guys sure? It seems kind of dumb considering I'm 17 and you have to be 18 in order to even have an account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trutrojan8 Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 You have nothing to lose, they can't just take your money if they see you're 17.. They'll probably ask to have a parent come to the line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HipHopHead Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 You guys sure? It seems kind of dumb considering I'm 17 and you have to be 18 in order to even have an account. I had called when I was 17 and they didn't mind, though their terms could have changed in the past year or so. It can't hurt, it's not like they can arrest you or anything.

Cobb Posted June 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Well, I got a buddy of mine to post on the PayPal forums and this is the response he got from a PayPal moderator: When it becomes evident to Customer Services that your friend is under the age of 18 they will limit his account until he reaches 18. This is because when signing up to a PayPal account it says "As of January 1, 2002, you must be at least 18 years of age to register for an account" After reaching 18 the limit placed on his account can be lifted and your friend can carry on enjoying his PayPal account.I'll be calling later today. :glasses: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
