Hey mates, I recently ordered an Ipod over the apple store and I payed with a money order ( I know old fashioned).
I want to buy a protective cover and a new skin design for it from decalgirl.com.
Their only payment method is paypal though, I was wondering if I can somehow use a prepaid card?
If I can use it with paypal what type of account do I have to register? And if My total price amounts to 35$ should I put an extra 5$ in case paypal taxes me?

Why don't you just get a prepaid Visa?
Or just get a real paypal linked to your debit account?

You can buy a prepaidcard and it is just like a credit card. Register it to paypal as if it's a real credit card and it should work.

I used a Pre paid from 16-18 for paypal and it works great. Especially since you can't over charge it.

Just go to your bank with your mom and know your social security number card with you. And then just ask to make you a bank account. Thats what I did anyways(USA)

you don't even need you SIN card if you do a chequing account as it is a non interest making account. Savings on the other hand need to be reported the your respective revenue agency in your country. but i believe under 18 you need a parents signature.

That's a lot diff than My bank. I am 18 though. But before i was I tried to make an account and all they required was my mom co sign. But my mom has crap credit so they rejected. But when I did make it, I did in fact need my SSN.

they probably say that, might be different in the states. But here in Canada you don't need a SIN for chequing account. They will always ask though. Also an account rejected cause of bad credit? :S I don't see how your account which holds your money has anything to do with credit.
