It seems that you can't make any online purchases without a paypal account these days.
You have to be 18 to make a paypal account, and you have to be 18 to make a checking/savings account(here in US) so i can't link my own checkings/savings account to a paypal under my mother's name. I've managed to make a few online purchases with only a debit card under my mom's name.
My parents are skeptical about transferring money to a person named "PAYPAL" on the internet. DANG IMMIGRANT (but legal) PARENTS.
I'm still a good 3-4 years till I'm 18. My sister can't do it, she's too mean, and my parents don't trust transferring money over the internet to a "PAYPAL ACCOUNT".
I can't use Ebay, the for-sale forum here, and many other online retailers and stores.
I've run into this paypal problem since i started searching for a portable amp.
Is there any other method to get use/get a paypal account?
My friend said something about a branch account with my money. will that work?
Is there a way?
Please help!!!
Looks like amazon.com will continue to be my source for headphones and such head-fi related purchases.
Gone are the days where you could get a good deal without buying online.
thank you in advance
