I just have a Flexible Saver for Kids (11-15 year olds). Nice interest (4.25%). You get a cash card, etc.

Unfortunately, can't use it on ebay (well I don't think).

i use it.
as it is DEBIT card it means you can only spend what is in the account and not any mor e(though mine has been -£2 ish befoer :S)
credit cards allow you to spend any amount up to an agredd amount (ie: you agree £500 and can spend up to £500 that you dont have in oyur account) and then pay back over time.
if you are in the UK i suggest using barclays, but some other banks offer this service to 14 years olds and barcalys does some under that :O


Yeah I have one too. But all i did was Spend Spend Spend.
Ebay must really like me this year ;)

I go with Halifax, they give out debit cards to 11 year olds.

You can also use your bank account to set-up direct debits.

Assuming that you mean, what kind of bank account, I believe that it's any type. Personally I have a seperate account set up for Paypal so that it's not tapping into my student account. Then again, all my paypal payments are made either with the money that is in my paypal account i.e. received from buyers, or by my credit card (this is  my primary source)

If I'm not mistaken, you can use a bank account to make payments, but in doing that I think that means that you have to use e-cheques (which is every ebay sellers nightmare because they can take 10 days onwards to clear)

But remember, that if you only make a minimum payment then you have whatever left plus the interest. The credit card company sets the limit you are allowed, you don't agree it, and then every now and then they increase it but I believe that the links of student accounts are EXEMPT from this (unless you're me (a))

Same here. But then again, that's probably with all my sellers fees. To date this year I've spent 231.00 GBP on ebay alone.....And I doubt my sales so far this year equal that.....something every wrong there....
I'll never forget how lucky I was 7454 days, 12 hours, 56 minutes, 41 seconds ago

RE: Paypal
I want to use Paypal to donate to a site.

I'm 18. I only have a bank account. Noone in my family has a credit card. And we live in Slovenia.

So, I can't use Paypal. I hope something will change next year when we get Euros. *-)
