Ebay/Paypal age requirements?

Hello, I am 17 years old (turn 18 in April). I would like to sell some things on ebay but I need to be 18 for a Pay Pal account and ebay account. So is it legal to set those accounts up under my parents name, and use my debit card with them and when I turn 18, create my own Pay Pal and Ebay accounts with that same debit card?

Any help appreciated, pretty new to this.

    As long as you have your parent's permission to do so, go for it. If you get in any legal trouble on eBay using their names, it will fall on them. However, just be careful with what you do, and you'll be fine. Be sure to do a lot of research about using eBay before you get into sticky situations (buyer wants a refund, items get broken in the mail, illegal listings, etc.)

    isn't 13 the age requirement? i'd choose to work out different sections for differing age communities to boot to this unfastened-for-all. Like, toddlers, 20 - 40, over 40 or some thing comparable. Even tho i'm 50, i like to pass to the Senior area and carry close available for awhile. I seem to have greater in hassle-unfastened with them and don't would desire to look at questions like: Am I quite? etc.
