Same here, about $2,000 they claim I owe them because they stupidly decided to refund money to an obvious scammer. Luckily I had already withdrawn the money. This happened when I was 15 and since then I am banned for life from Paypal - every time I tried opening up a new account they would eventually ban me. However during the last 15 years I have started multiple successful businesses and used alternatives like Stripe instead of Paypal and they are missing out on literally hundreds of thousands of dollars in fees.
- kevin_thibedeau 10y agoAt 15 you aren't allowed to have an account with PayPal and were technically defrauding them with a false birthday to get in. It isn't much of a stretch for them to ban you for that alone. Even if you were emancipated, it would be nearly impossible to prove that to a web business with no allowances for unusual circumstances.
- jliptzin 10y agoMaybe they changed the policy since 1999? I don't remember lying about my age at the time, and they had my SSN. Plus my age never came up as a factor during my fight with them about the ban.
