question about using paypal for subscribing


Recommended Posts

so it says all major credit cards accepted. but I thought you didnt need a credit card to use paypal? because im only 16 and dont have one. I do have a bank account. can I still make a paypal and use it to subscribe?(and other stuff online to?)

edit: well I did paypal and all that and saw that they had finally sent the money for the verification thing. but it said it was wrong :( no matter if I put the first or second amount in the first box it was always wrong. and the second was right

It's been a long time, but you should be able to register with your bank account. You'd have to try and see... In fact, to accept payments and such, you NEED to register your bank account and verify it.

You may be expected to be 18 though, as that's the age in which you can legally enter into a contract. Many companies require credit card information to verify that you are of age...

Yeah, you're supposed to be 18 to have a PayPal account. They don't check or anything, but you won't want to attract attention to yourself (i.e., don't get into any disputes).

For someone wanting to set up a PayPal account, I can only assume that any "disputes" may be not getting what you paid for (which you will want to dispute)

If you're under 18, it may be best to ask your parents I feel

I did ask my mom. she said she was fine :)

I dont really plan to use it for much. just when I need renew subscriptions for games and all that. and so I can order some parts for my jeep

What you can do is purchase a pre-paid credit card from any store (or at least should be) or use your Chequing (checkings) Accounts to do a transfer. You just need any blank cheque (check) and follow the instructions in PayPal to set it up.

yeah Im just going to that. I tried confirming paypal agian and it only gave me 1 time and said it was blocked. so I will just buy a prepaid card.

I'm with @kyle on this one, definately the temp credit card generator (from a logged on session - https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_vdc-hub ... can also find this link within your 'profile'). I'm not sure if this restricts your ability to send money though? You might need a credit card too, although I think the bank account is enough.

wait cant I just go buy a prepaid visa card and not even bother with paypal? because that seems like it would be easier then trying to use paypal. since there seems to be a problem with them
