Post by: ndru98 on March 01, 2009, 01:56:06 PM

Okay, so I know there a few kids on this site, as in 13+ and not over 18.
Me, being 13, I have no credit card, so I can't buy online.
What I wanna know is, how do YOU guys get your stuff online?
Prepaid visa's, or what?

Before I bossed my dad to buy it all and I pay him cash

Here in the UK your legally allowed a DEBIT CARD once your 13, debit card, not credit card, im pretty sure debit cards are a bit like prepaid visas

I just link my debit card to my paypal account and order that way (Because I dont trust other sites with my details :()

Im not sure which country your in, but I know that you should be able to get a paypal card, its like a debit card, for paypal only

it's legal to link your card to paypal, however it's not legal for a 16 year old to have a paypal account...

I use my debit card from my bank. if it has a visa or mastercard hologram on it, they can be used like a normal credit card.(check with your bank and make sure there isnt surcharge for using that way) You should also check with your bank on the fraud issues in case your information is compromised.  At my bank as long as you are prompt when dealing with fraud you are not liable for what is spent or taken.  Also since your using your card as a credit card you also have the security that comes along with using Visa or Mastercard.

Bottom line, just be careful to only buy from places that are trustworthy or at least have a forum like AM so you can cause a scene if things dont work out :winker:

Otherwize you should be able to use a prepaid MC or Visa bought from walgreens or walmart.  Another route that you could follow is getting a credit card that is on an account rather then credit. For example I know discover card you can make like a savings account that is linked to a card through them.  Just remmeber that credit cards arent dangerous, it is credit that is dangerous espeacially to the demographic that makes up AM.
