Hi, i see things on LPF and other places all the time i want to buy. I don't have a paypal account or any other online payment source , so what can i do if i want to buy something off of LPF that is safe?

Open a Pay-Pal Account or a Google Account as soon as you can. It's not hard to do, & if you're a minor, ask a parent. ( IF YOU'RE A RESPONSIBLE PERSON ) A parent will be more likely to help you if you show responsibility, like getting & keeping a job, even if it's delivering newspapers. That was my 1st job, & I held it for 3 yrs. till I was old enough to get a job stocking grocery store shelves & doing carry-outs ;)

My dad 'did' have PayPal but it doesn't work now according to him... because he got a new card.

You can offer to send a paper check, via mail, then the seller sends upon arrival of the check. Could be risky, but if you do your homework, could work.

That sounds better then sending strait cash. I just need to open a checking account, but I'm extremely lazy.

Well, one thing you could do is to get your cash, go to a participating store, and buy a virtual credit card. I know that in australia these are called Virtual V Cards and are done by Visa.

They have a small fee, but they load up the amount of money you want to the card and give you a CVV, a CC number, an expiry date etc.

These DO work with paypal.
