Ebay.. Huh?


Question Posted Friday November 30 2007, 8:57 pm

Alright so I want to sell things on ebay, but I'm only 15. I know I don't have a credit card or anything, but I don't want to buy anything.

My mom says I can't use hers because they might try to scam her and take all her money..

But if I were only selling would they be able to do that? & Is it hard to sell things? like.. do you have to package it, etc.. I don't understand any of this. What do I do?

I sell on eBay.
I'm only 15 too, and its illegal to sell on ebay if your under 18.
However, I do it COMPLETELY under my dad's administration, so I can't really get in trouble for it, technically haha. Like, he is the one that gives me the things to sell and I Just type up the descritption since I'm really good at html.
ANYWAYYYSSS, I have been doing ebayt for about 2 years now, and making ggood money, and I have never been scammed at all. What you do is you sign up for a PayPAl account, and then you put your credit card there, etc.
Its completely secure. and they only ask for it once.
You do have to package and ship it and all that stuff. I can help you, but I don't really know what your questions are exactly, so yeaahh, if you have a specific, ask me in the inbox! I would lovee to help.
Also, its not hard. You don't HAVE to do html, but I like tooo =]

You will be the target of more scams if you use ebay, but ebay itself won't scam you. If you aren't stupid you'll be fine. Remember that scammers need you to give them your information, they can't steal it by themselves.

You are responsible for all shipping. It's not really difficult unless you have a strange item.

Use this information to convince your parents. If they can't be convinced, you're out of luck. Don't attempt to make an ebay with false information, you'll regret it.
