You can however get a prepaid debt card. And that can be in your name. It's a debt card. You can only spend the money that is on it. Nothing more. Anyone can obtain a prepaid visa debt card from retailers such as Wal Mart, CVS, Walgreens, Dollar General, and I am sure many others. How do you think e-bay would ask for ID? It's online. If you bid on items you have to be 18. If you buy items that are just a straight sell then you just put in your info and buy them. Although since you are under 18 you probably should let your parents be a part of it so you don't end up getting into a mess they have to try to get you out of.

You can go to almost any store and purchase a prepaid debit card, but you need to have your parents signature/approval for a prepaid credit card.

They are also known as Visa Gift Cards. You buy them in a specific denomination and once that amount is used, the card is no longer valid. 2) Prepaid, reloadable credit cards - these are granted by financial institutions and act like a credit or debit card. They are not an extension of credit, so there is no credit report involved, but they are called 'credit' cards because they are branded with the Visa or MasterCard symbol and can be used as a credit card or as a debit card with a PIN number. Money can be added (or loaded) onto the account at any point after the card has been activated. Certain fees may apply, although many companies will waive regular fees if the holder meets certain conditions. The reloadable credit card option requires ID for several reasons but one primary reason is the result of the Patriot Act - a US statute that went into effect in 2001 as a way to allow the government to gather more information on the movement of money in the country in an effort to fight terrorist funding. If you do not have ID, a parent can apply for the card and order a second user card in your name with a separate balance you can use for your eBay purchases. Hope that helps!
