Um... no you can't... tried it

Yes, you can. That's how I bought my vBulletin license before I set up my CC to work on there.....

Why don't you get a credit card now Dan? Why do you have wait til you're 18? I have one:confused:

If you have a credit card in the US and you're under 18, it will be in your parent's name, not yours, so you won't build any credit. Also, to pay the bills, you obviously have to send them money which requires a bank account (checking ideally unless you have the bank pay for you).

No i can't send it as well, i do can receive money but i can't send. I do have an unverified account because i didn't added a cc but i did added a valid working bank account. My spending limit is $0, while another dutch guy i know have the same account, added a valid bank account.. didn't added a cc and he does can send money. I have emailed paypal 2 months ago but i heard nothing from them!

Oh right.

It's simple. I had this problem as i'm not in full-time employment yet i'm not eligable for a credit or debit card (so my local banks say). So you can't even withdraw money without adding a credit card to verify your identity. It sucks but it's worth it - in the end I just persuaded my local bank manager that i'd be receiving some income from my online work.

Hmm strange. They must have changed the restrictions from back when I was able to do it.

... I was able to send money without having a CC over a year ago now, so I guess they've had time to amend their policies. :)

PayPal have recently messed me about. Payments on my account were not showing up on my bank statement:( Sorted though, hopefully.

paypal has changed alot of their policys due to more and more fraud. >.>
