buying bladed items

I am unable to  to purchase a polesaw as it is a bladed item and I do not have a credit card only debit so am unable to verify my age. I rang Ebay and was told to contact the seller and get him to amend the ad or borrow someone's credit card. I contacted the seller and he told me that he couldn't do that. I rang Ebay back to be greeted with "congratulations you have been a member for over 21yrs" unfortunately even though  Ebay know I am over 18yrs (69yrs to be precise) I am still unable to purchase the item without the verification of a credit card, also telling me to use someone else's credit card renders this scheme useless

I'm disgusted with Ebay!

There's nothing the seller can do.   Your only option is to ask someone with a credit card to buy it on your behalf.

Exactly the same problem I have with a chainsaw, no credit card, only debit card and I'm the same age [69]. No help from ebay !!
