    Default Bank info/Paypal

    Is it possible for me at the age of 14 to create a paypal account using my info and flexi card number?

    Read their website to see what the conditions and restrictions are. And if it doesn't say anything against people under 18 having paypal accounts, try to register one and see if you can. If it won't let you, you'd need your parent's bank account.

    You can't use a card number unless it's a credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Discover). Not sure about the age thing.

    Does ebay allow bank transfers? Also do sites like RK allow bank transfers?

    Ebay allows bank transfers as long as the seller offers it but be warned about seller ripping you off as bank transfer don't offer protection but paypal does.

    RK, i think do? Someone else to confirm

    If you want to sell, yes.

    If its just to buy, no.

    a word of warning, 3 unpaid item strikes on ebay and ur out. (sometimes 2)

    They will blacklist your account details and any attempt to re-register with ebay via another account has a good chance of getting suspended. They use a very comprehensive IP tracking system along with other methods.

    Yes there are ways to go around it, but I'm not going to discuss it.

    Just becareful with your bids, set a budget and dont go over.

    RK exclusively uses PayPal.

    If you have a bankcard (and thus, a bank account) and want to get a paypal account you can use, you need to A. read and comply with PayPal's terms of service and then B. sign up using NOT the number on the card, but your "BSB" and "account number". Typically your bank will show you these numbers when you're logged in via internet banking.
