Just wait til you grow older.
Start off buying stuff in real life before you go buying them on the Internet. |

i haven't bought anything from there because my parents don't really trust things on the internet *shrug*
so, what you do is accept the fact that you don't always get what you want |

Ebay a bit risky.
If you do buy on ebay, it a good idea to read the other consumer opinions posted on the seller pages or u can get rip off. From what I heard, not everything they sell on ebay is real like for Example: A guy buys a Plasma TV online for like $2,000.00 Guy sends money by paypal and in a week, gets a big box by UPS. Guy opens box to find inside a cartboard cutout with a picture of a plasma tv. |

i've never asked for anything on ebay. I don't know what to get .. ahaa .. my brother goes to ebay all tha time though
jason - well, if you can prove to your parents that you're worthy of being able to get something from ebay, maybe they'll get it for you. |

I'm afraid to shop on ebay too though, so I agree with the parents.
Unless I got a credit card that was password protected (which they have now) and that I could freeze if I was being ripped off, I don't trust strangers enough to shop with them... I wish I could though, because ebay has some effin awesome stuff on there. |

You're only twelve.
You don't work. Next time you should go earn yourself some money and ask if you can use their credit to buy stuff online that YOU'll pay for. |

 EBAY'S THE SHIT! If I don't go 2 the mall, then I go on eBay. But not as much N E more cuz I have my own money now, & since I have my won money, can't use the daddy's plastic...plus I have no time  , and 4 sum reason, once U earn ur own money & GROW UP...U become less materialistic & realize U don't have 2 buy THE NEWEST MARILYN MONROE PURSE 2 make U happy...sorry, I guess the Marilyn thing's just me  . But yeah, quit being a diva...U don't have 2 do wutever everyone else is doing! Be an individual! Do ur own thing! Be urself! Individuality...it's a beautiful thing  ...plus, I bet after a week, U'd grow tired of wutever U wanted 2 buy on eBay...U'll get OVER IT!

Sorry...I knoe I'm double posting, but as an eBay expert, I gotta give facts & tips... ALWAYZ read the info...don't instantly bid cuz U want, U GOTTA check the info! It tells if a product is used, authentic, etc...PLUS check the seller's history 4 N E bad business they had in the past...lets U knoe about the seller & wut kinda person they are. If they sell "authentic" stuff, like Bettie Page's bikini or Jimi Hedrix's guitar, U gotta check if they have proof of a "certificate of authenticity"...and if they don't, it's most likely phony & shouldn't take a chance. AND U DON'T ALWAYZ HAVE 2 PAY BY CREDIT CARDS! People accept cashier/personal checks, cash (WHICH IS TOO RISKY & SHOULDN'T BE DONE!), money orders, etc...sure it'll take longer 2 get the item, but U don't have 2 worry about credit card scams  ...AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE ON MY ADVICE 4 ALL U NEW EBAY SHOPPERS !

wow 12? kinda young, no? (then again, I always bought CDs online with my dad's credit card, and I was 12 at that time) As long as you pay them back, then it's okay. Other than that, no way. Why would they trust their credit card to some kid?

Get someone else to get their parents to pay for it, and pay them back or find a friend who has a credit card and pay them back later...
Idk. |
