Ok, this is not spam! I have $0.00 in paypal account and need to find a way to make money. I cannot get a paypal card for quite some time as I am a little underage and not at same addy to have it sent too. Also cant get bank account for a while too. Depressing huh? It completly negates e-bay selling all together as they need a credit card or paypal CARD....neither which i have and wont for awhile. Reason I am desparate? Moving out shortly and am flat ass broke...All I got is a paypal account. I am hoping to be able to save up for this http://www.ipod-dropshipping.com/Marketing/DD_website_plan.asp
I need ideas and fast! I am part of adbux and some others but too little money. HELP!

You dont need any money in your paypal account to sell on ebay.
They bill you for the fees at the end of the month, so just pay it out of whatever you make.

Unless if they recently changed something, then no, it's not needed. :)

So why wont it let me list? Trying to list using TurboLister i get a "ERROR-Item can not calculate fees. You need to make a sellers account by entering a credit card info" This is not good

I dont know what turbolister is. is it part of ebay?
Are you trying to create your listing on ebay.com or are you using some other site or software?

turbolister is a ebay listing software tool

Well its probably that tool that requires you to pay for it.
Try go and list on ebay directly.

Buy a prepaid card, you can use it online and its same as a credit card. Theres no age requirement.
or open a bank account (or use a friends) and use that to verify your paypal account.
it doesnt cost anything, actually they give you a few cents :)

hmm cant have bank account YET....and got no close friends, only in UK...and when I mean FLAT broke, I mean and can post a pic of $0.00 Like I wrote (ithink) above, I want to afford http://www.ipod-dropshipping.com/Marketing/DD_website_plan.asp as the plan covers a whole year, you can fully customize, and you dont need to do anything but watch it as the pp,k you pay do all the tranactions, shipping, return etc! I am so screwed. But also they require, they do accept paypal, you too have a credit card on file...I got no close friends, no money, cant have bank account yet and no perm addy to send a paypal card...My world is rapidly crashing to a end

Lets put me in this scenario. I am 17, out of parents house and in a rent apt. I change apt alot as rent always ends up going up. Got a very low paying job and is only one avil to me at this moment. I already wrote why no bank account. I barely make rent and usually have 5 or so dollars left get food. I eat cheap, dont eat out. I dont waste money nor party, drink or smoke. When left parents house they gave me some cash but come on, They aint rich and it was enough for me to get a job and have roof overhead for 2 or so months. As I already wrote, cant get paypal card as not perm addy and since in such public places, dont want it stolen either. In serious trouble financially.

In the US, they have things called Post office boxes, you might want to see if you can get something like that over in the UK, so you can have all your mail delivered to one perm. address. Also, I think its pretty easy to change the address on file with a bank, I did it a few months ago with all my accounts. Maybe you shouldn't be online :-\ Sell your computer, get your feet on the ground, get a better job that you can put all your time into. Or atleast if your paying for internet stop paying for the internet.

You don't need a social security number, or a permanent address for a bank account. ;) Just bring your birth certificate, and 3 pieces of picture ID.

Check out forums.digitalpoint.com and go to the Buy, Sell, or Trade section. I have made about $100 there.
