I wanted to make a Netflix account, but when I wanted to pay with PayPal, did you need a credit card, can somehow bypass that?

Of course you have to specify a reference account with Paypal.

Are you of legal age?
Did you enter correct data in the Paypal account, esp. Correct date of birth?

The demand for credit card, that is a security measure of Paypal

to secure the payment
to filter out minors who have cheated on a stolen date of birth an unauthorized Paypal account.

Security measures would not make sense if you could just handle them that way ;-)

Maybe I understand that now wrong. But I only pay via PayPal via direct debit and have never been asked for a credit card.

Then probably there was never any reason for DIR to take any security measures.

Di

And a credit card if PayPal suspects that it is dealing with a minor.

And that's happening lately.

After KK, e.g. Asked if there's a suspicion that the person is not 18. (For most KK applications, a identification procedure must be carried out in which the age is checked.)

Just buy a KK. Are many free.
