Payment method [resolved]

So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

Payment method [resolved]

Post by Freya Jones »

I can't have a PayPal account because I'm 16 so would I be able to use my parent's PayPal and change it to my own when I'm 18?

Hi, Freya,

And thank you for reaching out. Once you have added a PayPal address to OBC's system, you will not be able to change it. I am very sorry for the disappointment this may cause.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Thank you, and have a good day,

Okay that's fine. I don't mind just using my parent's PayPal account but would I be able to use it as it is not in my name?

Hi there,

And thank you for reaching out. I am very sorry for the delay in answering your question.

Technically, if no one else is using this PayPal account, it should not cause any problems. If your parents are members of the review team, using the same PayPal will possibly result as your (and their) account to be marked as a duplicate.

I hope this helps. Let me know if there's anything I can do for you.

Thank you, and have a good day,
Kirsi
