If you sell items on eBay is there any way to get cash sent to you as your mum's creditcard is on your PaypPal but you don't want the money to go to her Can you get a credit card if you're 13?

You have several different issues here.

You cannot ask your buyers to pay with cash. The various eBay sites have slightly differing requirements but on most sites you are required to accept payment through PayPal, whatever other options you may be able add to that. Almost all buyers will opt to pay you through PayPal, regardless of what you might prefer, and you are not allowed to refuse PayPal payment if that's what your buyer wants to do.

To use eBay you need to be at least 18 years old. The same goes for PayPal; if you are under 18 you shouldn't have a PayPal account, unless you live in the US and have a 'supervised by your parents' account.

No, you cannot get a credit card at 13 years old - you are legally a minor.

What to buy in Dubai?

Dubai is a modern city and like most cities you can buy much the same kinds of stuff as you would do anywhere in the world.

However, Dubai is famous for its gold souks where you can purchase fine jewelry made from gold and other precious metals.

In Dubai gold jewelry is sold by the cost of the weight of the gold and not by the artistry of the item made from it. Therefore there is great competition to create the most beautiful items to attract the most customers. This causes the price of items to fluctuate with the price of gold to the point where prices can change daily.

What do you do if you bought a car on eBay but the seller doesn't have the car and you paid already?

Does Paypal insure losses on eBay?

They wont pay if an ex-girlfriend steals your money they call it "Friendly Fraud" and if you can make a claim it can take you or the police a year to get your transaction records.

Can you still sell on Ebay with your PayPal and eBay account Unlinked and use them separate?

I have been buying and selling on eBay for 3 years and have always wondered if I can still sell items on there if I unlink my eBay and PayPal account.

Right now whenever I purchase I have to login to paypal so I can complete the purchase. I checked my account settings tab and found the unlink option and clicked it. I know I can still pay for stuff but can I still sell on eBay with my accounts unlinked? My sellers automatic payment method is still paypal.

Much help will be appreciated thanks in advance
