SO SO GAY..my parents wont let me buy stuff on ebay..they have a credit card..but i ask nicely they wont let me..plus i dont have my own credit card anywas..im 12..what do you expect? Damn..other parents let them..ugh..what should I do?

[Nicolatofu]

You're only 12? I never knew that. I use my mom's credit card all the time to buy stuff off ebay. I don't see why your parents wouldn't allow you to use it...

[*Azarel*]

Wow, you're stupid; if I were your parents, I wouldn't give you your own credit card either. Someone as immature and whiney as you would probably overcharge the card; how the hell do you expect to pay it off anyways? I doubt your parents would pay for everything that you've ever wanted. You're twelve. Twelve-year-olds don't have credit cards.

End yourself. Now.

[sunissed14127]

maybe you can show them what your buying...thats what i do. I show my mom what I want, and if she likes it, she'll buy it for me.

[iheartsimba]

ebay...isn't life..i've never bought anything from there

[dukesoccer07]

haha, thats quality...

Suck it up... such is life

[pnai4eva]

hmm i think that u should try showing your parents wat ur gonna buy from ebay and if they like it, maybe they'll let u use they're credit card

[cocoalightning27]

I'm 12 also and I don't go around whinning because my parents don't give me their credit cards to buy stuff on the internet....baby...

[*xcaitlinx*]

lol i agree.



plus if u had ur own credit card and bought stuff off of ebay, you'd prolly end up getting ripped off. Perhaps you're one of those people that say: "wow, a laptop for only $1.00...im gunna buy that!" heh..

[souldreamers]

ahhh eBay! I've bought hundreds of junk off there since I was 15.. but it was with my own debit card buddy. =] Well just try showing your parents what you want and if they say no then that's life... you're only 12 and you can't always get what you want kiddo. BUT if you have an eBay account and the seller allows you to pay by money order then you can always send them a money order instead of paying with a credit card. =]

[*AngelicEyz00*]

Why don't you go to the store and buy it? Or give someone the $$ who has a credit card, so they can buy it off of you.

That's what my brother did-- he paid me the money and I charged it on my card. Although he's 24. I wouldn't be complaining if I were you.

[xsweetxcandyx]

they're just being careful..not gay..

[oXMuhNirvanaXo]

[xj_liana_tx]

you are 12??
well i don't know, they don't trust stuff on the internet.

[jennyjenny]

Um, maybe they don't wantto give out their credit card number.

And why WOULD they get you your own credit card? you're 12.
Credit cards, if u didn't know, is like borrowing money. Not free money. You need to pay them back.

[Just_Dream]

... You could always do.. Money Orders or something... And you're too young to have your own anyway. Go ask a friend to go bid for you.. Some people get ripped off or tricked and never get their money back.. regardless of what eBay could do to get your money back.

But anyway... like I said, just go and ask a friend who knows someone who has an ebay account to go bid for you.. You just have to give them proof that you'll give them the money if they're going to go out of the way and actually bid on something for you.

[Gypsy Eyes]

End yourself. Now.

i agree completely.

[*stephinika*]

you're only 12? i can see why they're saying no.

[Saeglopur]

My parents bought me Rikku doll, 2 Rikku wallscrolls and a Rikku pin from ... well, not ebay but whatever it was, it was online. I'm trying to persuade my parents to get me this 6-pack sheet music... but they won't pay no matter how much I told them I would pay shipping handling and the $10 itself. I feel lonely now.

[imafreakinazn]

hm
what do you do.
i know
how about LISTEN TO YOUR PARENTS' ADVICE??
after all,
they know best

[demolished]

its not your parent's problems, parent are just more responsible and they have a reason not to buy stuff from ebay.

anyways, i think its a valuble lesson for you to know that " not everyone gets what they want "

i agree but he aint stupid tho, everyone is has been like that once.

[*autumn.*]

Obviously you haven't read his other posts....

Your parents are not gay. They had you. And they're still together.

This situation is not gay either. Do you see it mingling around with another situation of the same gender? I think not. So it's not gay.

[yukichan]

ebay...isn't life..i've never bought anything from there

yup i agree...i never bought anything either...

1. i know its not gay but that is not the my point.
2. i was replying to Azarel
3. so .. what are you trying to tell me ?

[*wind&fire*]

pssshhh its stupid... i cant buy anything from ebay

yet my dad goes ot and buys a new mobile for himself...

[gelionie]

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

[xxruinedsoulxx]

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

[MasterNe0]

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.

You're ignorant.

[Rachel]

i use ebay all the time...granted i have my own credit card but oh well


I LOVE EBAY <3

[*Azarel*]

i use ebay all the time...granted i have my own credit card but oh well

But at least it's logical for you to have a credit card. After all, you're seventeen (right? Pardon me if my math skills are horrible).

[Rachel]

yup 17 =) I do agree that the kid is waaaay to young to even be looking at ebay. 12 year olds should be outside, playing sports or whatnot...not sitting at home on the computer!

[angel-roh]

Some of my friend's parents doesn't trust ebay so they won't let their credit cards get on ebay lol.

Well I rather buy new items as in no one ever used it. Heh...

[*autumn.*]

only the first part was for you. i'm sorry if you thought my entire post was directed to you.

the part about the gayness was to jason. ....how could you not tell?

[jnukes]

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.

[*islandgirl4eva*]

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.

[oiograceoio]

lol... well its to protect their credit, u'know..
if anything bad happens.. its gonna be THEIR credit history that will be ruined...
and like.. you never know who's on ebay~~~ hahaha

for example....me! -_-;;


gRaCe~!

[whomps]

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.

[MarilynBettieLup...]

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!

[MarilynBettieLup...]

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 !

[dora_smiley]

i don't think we should use our parent's credit cards to buy things though, wt if u suddenly gone nutz and use all their money, is it u are responsible for it then?

[Hiiatus]

i use ebay youd ont really need a credit card i send money order its more safe i think..

[*Weird addiction*]

u r 12?? omfg!! anyways i dont buy anything on ebay, my dad does...

[Rachel]

MarilynBettieLupe- why didnt you include that all in one post?? you even KNEW you were double posting also, learn how type k thanks

[snak3y3z1001]

i don't think we should use our parent's credit cards to buy things though, wt if u suddenly gone nutz and use all their money, is it u are responsible for it then?

I use my parents credit card. But I pay upfront before I buy it

[hiromi]

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?

[runforfun529]

I never really had the urge to buy anything from ebay... its not like you have to.

[Just_Dream]

Well I rather buy new items as in no one ever used it. Heh...

Actually, there are new items on there... You can't assume that it's all used. I used to think that items on eBay were used, as well. My boyfriend got a wireless network card for his ibook on eBay and it was new.. I think lol.

But even so, there are new items on eBay.

[emptyminded]

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.

[azn_r4pf4n]

jason jason... tsk tsk.. haha

manz... u remind me of my friends... they go on ebay and buy stuff too (i dont know if they use credit cards or n-e thing)... just wait till ur older... your parents don't trust ya manz... u might overspend the credit card.

**edit**

haha, u got like 3 topics about ebay started. haha

[angel-roh]

pssshhh its stupid... i cant buy anything from ebay

yet my dad goes ot and buys a new mobile for himself...

HAHAHAHA!! that's so true!!! that happened to me too hahahahahaha and my sister i think. she was gona buy blink 182's sandwich???? the bitten off sandwich haha. i thought that was nasty, but she still wanted it? also the drummer's drum stick lol. but my dad said no, but he bought himself this computer stuff..not computer, but related to computer stuff lol.

[dWang]

yeah man same here, my parents won't let me use their credit card on ebay because they think you'l get scammed. So what I do is borrow my friends credit card and get him to bid and pay for me while i pay him back.

[jaeman]

I don't trust ebay.
I trust certian sites that I buy from all the time.
There's paradestore and qvc and that's about it.

[*lolita kitty*]

i use ebay also, but only for items that you cnt buy in america, like cute anime stuff sold in japasn. other than that, i just buy it 0.o

[pAtRiCk_sTar]

12....hm maybe wait a year or so

[pink_tootsie]

wow, well when i want something off of ebay, i usely help pay for the item that their buying for me..

[LilAznBabe]

im 17 and still havnet bought ne thing on ebay.. if that makes u feel better.

[tofuburger]

Wow, you're stupid; if I were your parents, I wouldn't give you your own credit card either.

End yourself. Now.

couldn't have said it better myself..

[toodlepops.]

you're only 12, you can buy stuff from eBay later in life. ;)
but if you want it real bad, show your parents what you want, convice them, act good. if that doesn't work, too bad.

[*AngelicEyz00*]

I spent $200+ dollars on ebay this weekend I grounded myself from using my Visa for one week

[c0oki3_m0n$tah]

u expect ur parents to give u their credit cards to buy stuff online????? my parents would never let me do something like that. get over it.

[--{Empty}--]

Haha, there's not really much you can do, usually parents that make the decisions on these kinda things stick pretty hard to them. Well that's from personal experience, on paintball equipment. I know its not much consolation but maybe you just got to wait, and it depends on what you want too right? if it's a useless thing than I don't blame them for not letting you get it.

[*salcha*]

maybe you can ask your parents, they always buy stuff off ebay for me if i ask them for something i would need. :)

[perfectxflaw23]

I've never had this problem. Just try showing her how ebay works and what you want to buy and stuff. Take her to the FAQs page (I'm not sure if they have one..) and let her read it. Just try to make her feel comfortable about it. If she still doesn't, try to find it in a mall or something.

[starlette]

my cousin buys and sells stuff on eBay, and I can see EXACTLY why ur parent wouldnt let you use theire cards. I mean do they drop you off at the mall and let you buy whatever you want with their credit cards? And besides, you gotta be smart and read into things there. If a cell phone is $0.50 (ahem) its probably not good quality, or broken or something. Because if u find something that cheap and it worth it, so will other people, and it wont stay $0.50 for long. I mean, my cousin has bought me about 8500$$ worth of collectible barbies off of ebay (yeah I know its sick, shut up) and lots of them start at a dollar and go up to $50+ so dont be fooled. Besides, a lot of the time you get a better deal at wal*mart. ebay is only truly good if you are looking for something people dont make anymore, or thats really rare and hard to find or foriegn. I would'nt sweat it. Complain when ur parent wont let you eat dinner, not cuz they wont give u free reign with their credit cards. Credit is tough. I'm only 19 and i've already effed up my credit.

[f4113n]

if ur friends rents let them, ask them 2 buy it 4 u nd then pay them bak, thats wut i do

[Wolverine0723]

JUst give ur parents the money, and maybe they woudl buy it 4 u then??? I've done that b4. or, you can jsut say..., mom, can I buy this for $XX. I'll take it out of my allouance, or ill pay you back, or can I but this...lol...or get ur friedns 2 buy it 4 u, and you pay them off.
