    Asked to verify my age to bid

    I have been asked to verify my age in order to make multiple bids and eBay asks for a credit card only. What can I do if I only have debit cards?

    eBay only accept a credit card, because anyone of any age can own a debit card, and you need to be 18 years or older to have a credit card.


    Those c.c. Companies have already done their stringent checks on the holders of those cards, so to save time and money, eBay use those checks for their own benefit.


    The only way round this for you, is to ask a friend or family member who has a credit card on their eBay account, to buy this item for you.

    Thank you for the suggestion. If this is the only way, then that is a real shame. Surely eBay could come up with an alternate method...
