As far as I am aware as OP is under 18, no online trading site will allow him to open an account.
Same as with Home Shopping catalogue accounts, etc.
I was aware of his age as i was making sure you have to be 18 and over.
To the OP,
You can set up an account on Amazon with a debit card, i have done so. The reason yours wasn't accepted is that you are too young to trade on the webiste.
The best thing you could is ask your parents to sell them for you or do other things i and other people have suggested.

oh well, looks like you'll either need to wait 2 years or use a freind/family members account. I have been registered for years on amazon and i did use my debit card and not my credit card so obviously this has changed since i registered.0

Fruit salad, i've been able to set up an account and buy using the debit card, but just a question for you. Have you ever sold using your debit card? or has it been only for purchases?MSE allowed me to see the light0 -

but i thought you had to be over 18 to sell on places like amazon? this could be the reason why he cannot do it as hes 16[STRIKE]0.5 st[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]1st[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]1.5st [/STRIKE] [STRIKE]2st[/STRIKE] 2.5st 3st 3.5st 4st 4.5st 5st :j0

I can't do it only for one reason. I don't have a credit card as i may have £0 pounds on it, and will not be able to refund a seller. however, im still able to buy as its automatically not accepted if its empty.MSE allowed me to see the light0

) and yet I have things that are listed on Amazon, and it's a fairly new account too. I have no idea what I had to do to set up the account but I do know for a fact that it didn't involve a credit card.
This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine:kisses2: Fiancee of the "lovely" DaveAshton :kisses2:I am a professional ebay seller. I work hard at my job, I love my job, if you think it's silly that's your problem not mine.0 -

I just had to link a bank account and verify my home phone by them auto phoning with a code. Nothing to do with CC. Mine isnt registered with amazon only a debit card0
