Unhappy How to get money into PayPal?

Hello.
Im 15 years old and i want to start my own hosting site.
I have found a great deal which gives me a new domain and a reseller account for £17.
The only problem is i cant pay for it
I have the money and everything, its just i cant get it into PayPal because im only 15.
Is there a way of getting money into my PayPal account without using a credit card?
Any help is much apreciated.

Thank you.
Tom Bullock

Sending cheques isn't really my recommended route but its always an option if you have a child debit card. If you don't have a debit card get one, I know lots of places do under 18 ones which are accepted by Paypal and other shops. I cant really think of any other way apart from driving down there! which probably isn't an option.

Ive got a Britania cash card, but when i try to enter the details into PayPal the digits dont match up.
It asks for 8 digit number or something, but there isnt a 8 digit number, only a 9 on my card.
And it also asks for a sort code which i dont have on my card.
Do you know of any banks that provide childrens debit cards that i could use with PayPal?

What country do you live in? I actually live in the UK so i may not be able to give you an actual bank name there are lot of people from the US on these boards so your better of asking someone else if that's the case..

Awesome not often i actually see British foke on the internet, not to say were not capable or anything. Well Halifax (halifax.co.uk) is probably your best bet or Bank of Scotland, or even NatWest most banks do child debit cards just enquire around but Halifax is the one i used to use and its guaranteed to work with Paypal i know this through personal experience its completely free to.

Here you go it was actually under 'Express Cash'

http://www.halifax.co.uk/bankaccounts/expresscash.asp

It briefly explains how you can use it etc, it even upgrades your account automatically when your old enough to upgrade. You need 1 pound to open it apparent im sure you can afford that right?

If you have a debt card, you could link paypal to your bank account, and use that for internet shopping. That's what I did, and I'm only 13.

Ive signed up and everthing and ive got all my details in the post.
When i try to add it to PayPal, its asks me weather its a 'Current' account or a 'Savings' account.
Do you know which one it is? It says it could charge me £14 return fee, if the information is not correct.

Thanks

Well if you have a debit card or some type of card its a 'current account' because you are using it constantly, if you don't have one and you get more than 5p interest for putting £100 for example you are on a high interest account, there for a 'savings account'

Hope this helped.
