OK, considering I am only 14, I can not yet get a bank account. Yet, in the game I am creating, I want to have subscription access, WHAT DO I DO?!?!
Surely theres a company out there that will process the subscriptions and then send me a check instead of me having to have an accoutn, right?

I'm sure if you wake up one fine saturday morn, and tell thine parents that you have 10,000 dollars of subscript money in your paypal, they won't mind arranging the transfer. | |

Really? You can save money in a paypal acount? I though it just automatically transferred it over to a bank acount on a regular basis. That'll work.

OK, that sucks. But I doubt I'm about to make that much with my first few games anyway =) Yeah, you can even send money from your account to others and theres no need for a credit card, but i think you can only send $150 at a time unless a credit card is added. | |
Don't like the credit card thing. As far as i know my parents don't use them. But all in all, its still pretty good.

Unfortunately, me and about all the rest of memphis don't have that much money to keep. And my mom had a credit card until she maxed it out.

Why do they have those limits on it? Because, Paypal gets a bit of the money from every transfer, so they want you to sign up with a credit card so you will spend more money and they'll get more. | |
Yep. I was right. The whole world is so preoccupiedwith money they won't notice when I start to take over Earth as long as I keep money falling from the sky.

Well, Paypal says you must be 18+. I'm going to register anyway, but... Don't let them find out! _> I lie about my age all the time on the 'net. Once I pretended I was a 16 year old girl on a chat ro-... Okay, you get the picture. | |
What? This must be hidden faaar within their terms of use agreement :P I've been using them since I was 15. Luckely I don't have much more of a wait.

I'm really sick of paypal's crap. I want BYONDDimes back :) There should be taken into account that we at least need a median... It went from money getting thrown around TOO much to no money being able to be transferred practically at all because of how crappy and strict paypal is.

Well, if you want to set up an alternative international money-exchanging website (I'd call it a bank, but technically Paypal is not treated as a bank, despite the fact that for all intents and purposes it IS) and deal with fraud attempts and complicated international laws and security issues, then you're more than welcome to. ;-)

Paypal is fine and easy to use, no need for a credit card to get an account, and you can transfer money easily. But withdrawing i think requires a credit card, i have no clue as to if you can do it another way.
