I signed up for PayPal (and eBay) on my 18th birthday, before I even got dressed and went downstairs to eat breakfast.
I'm still worried that they might want to block me though, because I have more than one account. PayPal accounts must be linked to a bank account in the same country. So I now have different PayPal accounts in the UK, US, New Zealand, Korea, and Taiwan.

- peterburkimsher 10y agoMy parents had always been helping me buy things online. I lived in the middle of nowhere, so online shopping was my only way to buy things I wanted. The freedom to do this by myself without asking them every time was a huge step for me, coming of age. If you're American, I guess it's like driving a car for you. (I still can't drive).
- linkmotif 10y agoAh, got ya. Cool! Sounds like a huge day :). Googled your name and found you GitHub page. Seems like you've travelled the world a lot since then. Wow!
