Donation Issues

[TySun]

I was highly considering donating over the summer. The money is not a problem, and I have a PayPal account. First I tried to find if I could get a credit card. Only if my parents made the account with me, but they hate me. So short answer: No Then I tried Debit and got the same result, No. Then I tried to learn about a MasterCard hooked up to a Joint Account, also No. Is there no way for me to be able to spend MY money on MY PayPal account on virtual items under 18 without parental consent? Because my parents would never let me get a card with any of their info on it, or just any card in general. They consider it a waste and "unsafe" but I feel I have the right to spend my money the way I want to as long as no one else experiences problems or issues with it. Is there any other way? If not than that's retarded and the government needs to kill itself with immense amount of bleach

Gift card should work

Gift card? Those don't work. You have to make an account (in my case with a parent) to apply for the gift card since I'm under 18 (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover all require account setup which isn't an option for me) so pretty much what I'm hearing is there is no way for a 16 year old to put $200 from his job on a fucking card and spend it without parental consent. Fuck this shit I'm moving to South Africa with the rest of the white people

Buy a pre-paid visa card from a store.

OR

If you already have a paypal, I'm a little confused why you can't just use that? Is it not hooked up to your bank account?

gift  cards require literally a filled entry put what you want on those. make sure not to get an actual reloadable card but a gift card

So Essentially if I got a PayPal gift card it's like a steam gift card? I could just put in the code and the $ would be added to my account?

This is how I donate, I go to the store, get a pre-paid VISA card.  It should say VISA on it.  You go to checkout, you say how much you want on it.  You give the money + whatever tax, go home, scrape off the code on the back, go to donation site and fill out the information.  Done.
