I am only 15 years old and do not have a credit card. Is there anyway for me to sell stuff online like templates etc and does paypal accept anything else then a credit card?

To sell stuff you don't need a credit card. Credit cards are for buying things. In order to sell stuff you need a bank account (checking to be specific, i don't think savings will work).

But before you get all jumpy about that, you should probably read the PayPal T.O.S.

PayPal Acceptable Use Policy said:

In addition, as no one under the age of 18 is permitted to use the PayPal service, regardless of the jurisdiction, under no circumstances shall the use of PayPal be permitted by persons under the age of 18.

Thanks for the reply but I have another question. I do have a paypal accoun right now registered on my father, no credit card is added but I can get money from other people sent to my paypal account and transfer them to my bank account?

Ya, you just have to add your bank account to your paypal account, then probably set some setting to have the money sent there. I'm not sure how many bank accounts are allowed per paypal account, so you might have to look into that. Also, in the past, i have had paypal not give me my money but instead use some paypal bucks thing where they have the money and you can use it, but your bank will never see it.

PayPal also has an extensive F.A.Q., i would recommend reading through that, they answer a lot of questions like this.

Not true. I currently have one paypal account for my savings, and one for my checking.

About sending money to your bank account. Once you verify your account, they have your bank information, so all you have to do is log into paypal, and then click withdraw. Then select "Transfer funds to your bank account", pick the account you want the money to go to, and you're done!

I didn't say it wasn't true, i just said i didn't think it would work. It's been a while since i've used paypal, so i'm a little rusty on the in's and out's of it, but i know that i found an answer to nearly every question i had in their faq.

And just out of curiosity, are you sure they have "withdraw paypal funds TO bank account" and not "withdraw funds FROM bank account"? I'm sure there's some way to get the money from paypal to your bank account, it just seems to me like that isn't how you would go about it... But since i don't do paypal much any more, i'm not too concerned.

You can transfer funds from your bank account - free for banks in US and only free in Canada for $150 or more (fees involved check paypal)

Use your debit card - instant

Cash from ATM - instant


adding funds from your bank account is free

That's if your verified user dunno on the ones that are not. You can also use your cell phone to transfer and pay.
