Ebay Payment?

I was thinking of buying something off ebay, but its say you need a paypal..im only 17 can i get paypal i was going to pay with a pre-paid credit card??

Answers:
well to start with it is illegal according to ebay for you to bid on their stuff...you have to be 18 to have an account.
Okay so that is out of the way!
Hypotetically
You can open a paypal account. I dont want to give you any advice that is illegal so I am just saying that if a person wanted to open an account, this is what they would do.
I am not suggesting that YOU do this.
So you go to www.paypal.com
I believe that they want you to give them a checking account number. If you dont already have one, just go to the bank. If you are still in school, you should be able to open an account with 10 or so bucks.once you have the account, you enter it in on paypal's website and wallah! You are in business.
YOu can still use the gift card to pay
when the 'payment option screen' comes up you merely click 'alternative payment source' and put in the card you have.
GOOD LUCK!
you should be able to get the pay pal system but you might need and guardian or parent to help you out with it. Its worth getting. And always read the fine print
I have purchased things on EBay for several years

Go to: www.paypal.com

Open a account.

Give them your information as they have requested.

Think they verify this information.

Wait, a prepaid credit? Don't know about that type of credit card.

Good luck!.
