I recently started streaming on twitch and wanted to ask if you can somehow get donations without being 18, I'm 14 myself and would just like to get donations but don't know if you can and I don't know if I also use PayPal for it Although you have the consent of the parents, I would be happy if I can do it and how I have to do it. I looked up yt but found nothing on the topic of whether I'm allowed to do it with age
Under 18 or 16 I don't think so but I'm not sure.
But you can run it through your parents' PayPal account or log in, then that would work.
What's your name on twitch?
Twitch allows children aged 13 and over to use Twitch if their parents supervise it (i.e. Are present) and give their consent.
"There are numerous problems here.
What goes around under the title "Donations" is, from a tax point of view, a turnover from an independent, entrepreneurial activity. Usually it is income from commercial operations and this is subject to declaration. If the amount is high, income tax may also apply.
Unlimited legal capacity is required to run a company. This can only be reached at the age of 18. To submit an application to the guardianship court for full legal capacity within the scope of the exercise of the activity. That would make them fully responsible and liable.
I don't know whether this is enough to legally create a PayPal account. "

My name is koraypasa there and I've streamed 6 or 8 times so far and I'm still very new that's why I don't know so well with paypal etc but if the parents are okay with that, I'm very happy, thank you for your info
One way or another, a PayPal account may only be created from the age of 18.
Not even in the parents' name.
So I would have the consent of the parents so I could do a Paypal acc and just get started but after that I would be liable if I understand that correctly and would have to pay a fine, but what would I have to do exactly that I'm liable?
I would be happy to drop by at your place
Oh so wouldn't it only work if my parents already have paypal and i use theirs?
Thank you very much i'm looking forward to a small tip the next stream is on friday if nothing goes wrong
There are also exceptions to the terms of use:
If you still want to use the service, you should contact your parent or legal guardian. Depending on the purpose, they could possibly process the payment in their own name.
But now I went from my own account.
Let's just keep in mind that it's not worth it if your parents have to go to court so you can bag a few donations on Twitch and then you may not get the money because it doesn't work with PayPal.
Hmm ok so i can forget my trazm to become a big twitch streamer and earn money so only as few euro as 1 euro etc.
At least until you are of legal age. The dream can certainly wait a few more years.
Yes, I know that means waiting for me again for 4 years because I've been waiting since I was 10
Time goes by too. Faster than you want, believe me.
Joa can be.
