Hello, I am under 18, and I'm having difficulty getting a paypal account.

I have decided that I will wait until I am legally old enough to get a paypal account. I understand that this doesnt stop me running a business, as there is no age requirement to register a business. However my business would have to operate offline, and preferably would be run from home. Does anybody have some suggestions as to what type of business I could look into?

I have thought about starting a mail order catalogue, using dropshippers to deliver the products, but again, that would require paypal to order from the dropshippers. Any help?

thankyou in advance for any helpful replies

The most useful piece of advice I can give you is to not post the same or similar requests in a whole bunch of different areas on the same forum. Kind of annoying; won't get you too much useful information because we (the ones who have the information) will be busy writing replies such as the one I just have written.

Try looking into whether a minor can legally start a business. My understanding is that you'll need to have an adult who can be legally responsible for your actions. I could be wrong though. Why not try contacting an attorney? It might just be a worth-while expense. Or try to convince your parents to foot the bill for it, because if you do it illegally and are a minor, they might be the ones suffering the consequences of any deals gone wrong even though you initiated the transactions.
