    I have no credit card, neither do I want to send them my photo ID (I'm below their allowed age)

    Now what? :(

    I can't even send money, so I have funds just stuck there

    I'm pretty sure you have to have a credit / debit card to send money, you could ask your parents or someone old enough to borrow theirs? just to get the money out?

    Dang. I dot want to kink my parent's CCs to my paypal account.

    Will paypal send conformation letters or credit card statements if I do link it to my dad's CC? He wouldn't like it if he found out.

    Just start your own bank account. You can use debit to verify.

    They send 2 small amounts (from 0.01$ to 0.05$)
    You simply reply what amount you received and voilà !

    you can also verify it with a prepaid debit card
    just go to walgreens or something and buy a $25 one

    ..Second to that, create an Australian Paypal Account. You can send/receive fine without confirming your account.

    That doesn't help your current stuck finds (although the prepaid debit car sound like a good way to go!!), but it will help others in the future :p

    I think you have to verify your account in order to take money from your bank and add it to your paypal, other than that there is no advantage.

    Go to a bank and set up your own account. If you’re 16+, you can get one no strings attached in the US.

    Oh I see. I'll try the prepaid debit.

    I have an idea, don't know if it will work. What if I sold this paypal account to someone who can verify and create a Canada/Australia account :lol:

    the prepaid debit works (or at least it did on my paypal acct)

    but selling paypal accts is kinda sketchy since you're only supposed to have one acct
