Don't think they would really bother to do the above. They just want money right? :P

I have had an E-Bay and paypal account since I was 13 and have used both for buying/selling stuff and nothing has happened to me :)

Ive had an account with paypal and ebay since i was 11. Ive had a paypal account cancelled before because someone grassed up I was underage. They then ask for a driver license to be faxed to verify your over 18. If your not, they just suspend the account.

They dont actually do anything, just stop you from using the service, so you make another account :P
