Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Can people under 18 buy things from e-bay?
As the title says...can people under 18 buy things from e-bay? I want to buy something, but I don't know if I can without someone over 18 buying it under their own e-bay account. Please let me know! ^_^
P.S. Sorry if this is in the wrong forum...I just put it under the first one in the general intrest forums.

Krysta,
Here, from the Ebay website rules page:
You need to be at least 18 years old because eBay is available only to individuals who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. If you are under the age of 18, you can use eBay only in conjunction with, and under the supervision of your parents or guardians.

Lucille, I just asked my dad if I could buy a couple of things on e-bay and he said it was ok. Do I need to have him look at what I'm doing though? I don't quite like it when people look over my shoulder at what I'm doing...but if I absolutely have to, then ok. Please let me know! ^_^

In order to purchase, the account holder has to be over 18 which means you have to use his account.
My sons when they were younger than 18 did not have the password to my account and I did not let them make a final bid. They could look all they wanted on the Ebay website, then they would come to me and ask me to put in a bid for x amount of dollars on a chosen auction which I would do.
So I guess each family does what it is comfortable doing, but because a bid in an adult's name is a legally binding contract, your Dad might ask that you shop and decide by yourself and then let him put your bid in for you.
