You need a PayPal account to be eligible for a bounty, which he does not because you must be 18 to own a PayPal account.
I have a few friends who work for PayPal support; apparently under 18 customers who put in a fake date of birth call all the time because they can't setup a bank account to receive their money (usually from minecraft server donations).
I would hope so! Or they're just complete bastards.
I'm agreeing with everyone else - the work done is not dependent on age, nor is the payment of the gratuity, so give him the dough he deserves and quit embarrassing yourself PayPal!
