Does anyone know any ways to buy stuff on the internet if you're under 18 (no debit or credit card)? I'm 16 and want to buy stuff on the internet without having to ask my parents.

Well. No.
If you had a credit or a debit card or a checking account, you'd be set. But nearly no place takes cash because it is so dangerous to use. Although you might be able to use money orders, but that's iffy, and i"m not sure if you'd even be able to get them or not.
If it's a place that has an offline base, buy gift cards and use them. But that's probably not what you're looking for.
You could find someone else who has a credit card and work out a deal with them I guess.
In teh America you can get checking account with parental permission.
You can buy VISA gift cards though, which work just like a debit card and gift card hybrid should.

I don't use it, so I don't know for sure, but PayPal might be able to help, I think?
I checked, you have to be 18 to use PayPal.Originally Posted by I'm my own MILF
I could use my parents' credit cards but it's a tad annoying having to explain what I want to get.

What *do* you want to get?
Money orders have always worked fine for me whenever I have purchased online. I absolutely loath credit/debit/whatever cards so I just money order it.
STILL Updating the anime list. . . I didn't think I was that much of an anime freak! I don't even want to consider updating the manga list!
I have no clue where you are from, but like I said
VISA giftcards will work perfectly for you! I will just post the American how-to:

oh ~ I don't think that prevents you from ordering one at all. Just get like a hundred dollar giftcard and go nutts. (with the card... don't like shoot people up or anything.)
