You could buy a prepaid debit card. Money Pak is not really an option because of the verification process they have now. Their new verification process = the SS, name, street, DOB, etc have to EXACTLY match the info on your PayPal or they'll limit you.

I would say just buy a pre paid debit card.
 

so if i buy a card, what would teh process be of moving the money into my paypal how would i do that?

Buy the card, activate it, go to your PayPal, add the card to your PayPal. Now add funds from it.
 
if you where verified you would use money pack, just ask your mom if she can support you with her credit card on your account, if you dont charge it theres no harm done.

Again, that would limit him. The name and date of birth would not be over 18. And the SS would show 17. Automatiac limitation. And he'll be even more screwed since whenever in the future when he goes to verify his PayPal, it will revert to this situation in 2012.

Just use Alert Pay if all else fails :/
 
if he was smart he wouldnt have put his real date of birth. d:

If you did put your real date of birth just close the account and make a new one.

Uhm since your 17, you could probably buy one yourself. I think you're in a stick situation really.
 
I have a $25 prepaid visa gift card, would that be able to be used for pp? Also would I have to verify I'm 18 or something if it worked?

Still. SS would not match that DOB. And the only way to change a DOB on PayPal is to fax your birth certificate.
 
like everyone else said you can buy a prepaid visa card amd activate it for online use then add to ya paypal then spend and recieve
