Anyone got any insight on PayPal allowing an underage account without due diligence.
Also as there were about 40 transactions to he same person didn’t raise any red flags.0 -
How did the daughter access the mothers bank account? Cash has to be transferred to PayPal account from the bank account .2

OP, I'm not sure why you'd think that multiple payments to one person would raise a red flag?All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.0 -

They could try a written complaint to PayPal and failing a suitable resolution then take it to the FOS but I have no idea how successful that may or may not be.

Certainly a lesson there to the mother to regularly check her bank statement if she managed to miss 40 transactions!0 -
If you make a transfer on PayPal it will take the funds from whatever bank account is linked to it. You don’t need access to that bank account, only access to the PayPal account.
I just would have thought a new unverified account receiving multiple payments might get flagged. I’ve had flags for a lot less.0 -
Why should PayPal or my bank repay the mother because of the theft by the daughter?
How did OP's daughter log into her mothers PayPal account without access to the password or phone? My PP account requires 2FA and texts me a code to get access.
I would suggest that OP tells the mother to put some of her daughters trinkets on ebay to recover her loss and dock their pocket money accordingly.11 -

Sixteen years old and committing fraud against her own mother has nothing to do with PayPal.Trying to use the account she opened by lying is just a Red Herring. She's old enough to know what she was doing.This is between the family, it's up to them to sort it between themselves.9
