Wrong date of birth Paypal?

Is it bad that I (16) entered the wrong date of birth on Paypal or does nobody care?

Theoretically, you're only allowed to use WhatsApp at 16, and yet everyone has it…

Yeah, that can lead to a life-long barrier and it’ll be noticed sooner or later.

Unlike Whatsapp, it’s about money… it’s more serious.

PS: I would delete the account before it notices and then reopen with 18 (possibly on other email address).

Paypal is not fun, but an international bank.

Anyone who enters wrong data is about several crimes, so the life-long barrier is the least problem.

Paypal is not yet obliged to reimburse advertisement, so they only do it in a few cases, but that could come at any time. As they have to record all data as a bank for 10 years, even with a deactivated account (can’t be deleted) could happen sometime later.

Is it bad that I gave (16) a false birth date at Paypal

Yes, this is Crime, § 269 StGB. From the age of 14. PayPal is a bank. This is comparable to when you open an account with a fake ID at the Sparkasse or Volksbank.

In addition, PayPal will recognize you very soon as a minor (the algorithm is very good in it) and then you can never use PayPal again, as you will be locked to life.

Look here, they all felt very clever:

Whatsapp can you theoretically have at 16 and yet everyone has…

This is completely different:

PayPal has a Luxembourg bank license, is subject to European banking laws and can certainly not be danced by minor birth data counters on the nose.

And criminal law is not without:

Click: StGB § 269

You can’t “delete” a PayPal account, even if this is repeatedly claimed by ignorant:

You can only make your account disable, the stored data is stored for at least 10 years.

So that’s not gonna be a good thing.

Yeah, that’s bad. You opened an account with an international bank with incorrect data. Sooner or later, it’ll be noticeable and have consequences. Best case “only” a lock at Paypal.

It’s just closed, but not deleted. PayPal is obliged to retain all data for at least 10 years beyond the end of the contractual relationship.

At the latest from the moment you have to confirm the account with your ID, you’ll find out what’s different with Whatapp.

They don’t freeze the account and your money won’t be gone either. Paypal does that right.

I’m afraid I don’t know if you get an ad on fraud. :

I deleted the account now.

You didn’t.

You can’t “delete” a PayPal account, even if this is repeatedly claimed by ignorant:

You can only make your account disable, the stored data is stored for at least 10 years.

And with this data you will never be able to open a PayPal account again.

Is’ya cute as you’re all asking if you’re getting trouble.

I don’t know what they’re gonna think and do at Paypal. :
