Suggest a payment method?
Evening All,
I am in need of a bit of financial advice, specifically regarding a way to pass over my hurdles and complete the objectives. I'm pretty much a novice when it comes to banking, but I understand small terminology such as 'money' and 'funds' .
The problems I face are few, though important and restricitve. I'm 16 and hold a paypal account; I am well aware of the limit on holding one, but feel that without one there would be absolutely no way to achieve what I need to. With being 16, in the United Kingdom I cannot apply for a credit or debit card, however I have setup bank funding in PayPal and my account is now verified.
I need a system that will allow me to recieve money (selling tickets) and then be able to payout money into other peoples accounts (paypal) based on what they have earn't from the event they have hosted. Just a few questions and then I will shutup; - Is this possible with paypal?
*I do realise the PHP etc. involved, I am talking purely on an account to account basis.
- Which of PayPal's Merchant tools will I require to do the above?
- Is it worth using PayPal's Virtual Terminal as well, to provide an un automated solution of the net, and take phone orders?
Thanks for your time,
Alex

Alex, you are definately able to apply for a debit card (I got mine at 14/15, can't rememeber exactly). I'm with Barclays, and they do a Young Saver's Account for 16+. After getting one, you can set that up with your PayPal account, and you're done.
Regards,
Taiyab.

You could always have someone pay you with Western Union.
No fees to receive, and there are tons of locations around the world. (10 locations in my local --rural-- area).

Are there any security issues with that?
He can't use Western Union - you need to be 17+

I will look into the account with a debit card from barclays and nat west, would bank funding be sufficient enough, or is it in my best interests to get a debit card?

You should be able to have a debit card - I have had mine since I was 16.
