Ok first off, it's unlikely your mom will change her mind about letting you use her credit card. A better option would be signing up for a paypal account (www.paypal.com), asking the seller if they accept cash (usually not a good idea to send cash through the mail since not everyone is as nice as you and me), give your mom the money and have her write you a check, or get a money order.

If you do decide to buy something, check the seller's rating and feedback first. If they have a low rating or lots of bad feedback, it's unlikely you'll be pleased with your buy.

Good luck.

Tell her you did some research and if any money is disappering that she hasn't used or something is coming up that she didn't buy all she has to do is call the credit card company and she will get all of her money back! Hope I Helped! Have FuN ShoppiNg!

Well, it's just stuff. You don't have to have it now. And anyways, you can find good stuff at the local mall, can't you? Or at a thrift store even, since ebay is used stuff anyway. Wait till you're older and have your own apartment and credit card. Ebay will still be there. Oh, and you can point out to your mom that if somebody gets your credit card number and uses it, the credit card company will know about it before she does and set things straight.

Paypal works very well to make sure you get your stuff and they get their money.
