is anyone part of ebay?

there is some really great stuff on there, but i get this message.

Since you are using a free Web email address (Yahoo, Hotmail), you'll need to place a credit card or debit card (Visa or MasterCard) on file.
Note: This information is used for registration only. Your card will not be charged or used for billing purposes.

i don't have a debit or credit card at the moment.

is anyone willing to help me out, so i can become a member of ebay?

please pm me.

Yeah, here have my credit card number 3993 29 ... umm, no.

Sign up with some non free address. Or get a bank card.

You're a student. They can't GIVE you enough debt ...

Why don't you just use your ISP e-mail address to sign up, everyone has one of those right?

Or use the e-mail address of someone else rather than credit card number, someone with an address with BT internet or something, since afaik you can check those from mail.btinternet.com as well as from Outlook, so you could just get your ebay info sent to their account.

Or something.

All universities I know give you a uni email address and if you don't have one you CAN get one. You can use that email address for EBAY

I've bought loads of things off the internet and can't say I've had a single problem with them so far that even goes for Ebay.

If you complained your uni doesn't have an ISP so you can't use their email and you also complained you're not at uni - where are you? use the ISP email address for wherever the hell you are! or ask your mum - stop complaining! :lol:

You may have not been complaining that your uni doesn't have an ISp but you did quite clearly say "i don't have a isp at uni" so that ruled that one out, you said you weren't at uni though so liek I said just use your email address for the ISP of whereever you are connecting to the net - I'm not a know it all - juts stating the obvious

1) Use your uni address EVERYONE at uni gets given an email address...EVERYONE

2) Use your ISP account email address - you must be using an ISP to connect to the net if your not at uni, if you are then see point 1

3) Get a better bank account - a usual one that actually gives you bank crads

4) USe your mum or dad's card - they don't have to live with you to use it

you MUST be ablt to do one of the above options!

5) Make up some random numbers for a credit card number that ebay asks for, do they even check?

Not that I condone lying etc..

Well it was a silly question, but why forget it - just do one of the many things people have suggested - you have been given lots of options - one of them MUST be ok for you if not, then YOU CAN'T USE EBAY!!!!

Why is it that Adam can't ever ask or say something completely normal without somone having a go at him? If anyone else had said it you wouldn't all act that way :evil:
