Unable to Verify Age due to Lack of Credit Card.

Hello,

I wanted to buy some old woodcarving chisels to restore them but ebay asks me to confirm my age with a credit card of all things. I do not own a credit card and I do not see an alternative option to verify my age. Is there really no way to do this but with a credit card?

Thanks for your help in advance.

This is an issue that many face,  but the only way eBay accept as proof of age,  that is,  that your are 18 years old or older is by owning a credit card,  as anyone of any age can own a debit card.

 

The only way forward for you is to maybe ask a family member,  or friend who has a credit card n their eBay account,  to buy these items for you.

Thank you for your reply.

I just don't understand why there is not an option to use ID as age verification.
