Computers & Internet Age for PayPal account

[Eth]

So, I want a PayPal account. I've bought stuff off Ebay with my mum's account (for which I've paid her back) and I feel it would be easier for me to get my own, just so it's easier.

Thing is, I'm 15, and I haven't seen anywhere whether you have to be over 18, which I assumed was the age limit.

So is there an age limit?

I'm 17 and i've had a Paypal since I was 16.

Try and find a bank statement and then play the waiting game. You'll get one, no probs.

I've only turned 18 recently and I've been using Paypal for years.

Faked age, or something else?
