Answer 1

You can't get one by yourself because you have to link some sort of bank or credit account to it, maybe see if a parent would be willing to open a checking account with you to link the paypal account to.  PayPal is a payment link that a lot of online merchants including ebay use for payment, and it will pull from whatever account you link it to, like  a checking account or credit card. It is suppose to be really safe, I have had one for about 6 years and have had no problems, it is very convenient. Good Luck.  

Answer 2

Paypal is a way of sending a payment to someone across the internet. To set one up, you need to have a bank account or credit card. If you don't have one, you could ask someone who is already on Paypal to pay it for you.

Answer 3

You should not buy animals from over the Internet. First of all, reptiles make really bad pets. They are hard to take care of and often die. Secondly, animals shipped to you may be treated in any manner of ways; my ex used to work at the airport loading and unloading baggage and cargo from planes and the way some of those guys treated animals that came through there was just sickening. That is one of the reasons he quit. There is also no guarantee that the animals shipped to you will be healthy. You say you've gotten animals from these people before but why do you need more? Did the ones you had die? Maybe you are not taking care of them correctly. I'm not saying anything bad about you; reptiles require very specific care or they will die. End of story. Lots of people have "bad luck" with them.  

As far as PayPal, you have to be 18 to have an account. If PayPal is the only payment solution they offer, you are probably out of luck.    

Answer 4

PayPal is an electronic transfer system linked to your bank account or credit card.  You must be 18 to open a bank account, you must over 18 and have a bank account, income and credit to get a credit card, so you must also be over 18 to get a PayPal account.  Minors cannot sign contracts so they cannot open bank accounts, sign a lease, get a credit card, etc.

Answer 5

It is a secure method of paying over the net, but you need to have a bank account first to register.
