I just ordered a reseller account from my web host. I have everything set up to run my own host. But, I have no way of accepting payment. I'm under 18, so I can't have my own PayPal account. I can't use my parents' account either becuase who would trust a host that makes you send money to an email address on a completely different domain name? What I don't get is that minors are allowed to register a business with their state, but they can't have a PayPal account. *sigh* So what can I do? I thought about having one of my other relatives sign up for me, but I would still have to use my parents' bank account. Which would be impossible since PayPal only allows one instance of each bank account.
Ugh... i dunno what to do.

Aren't there free checking accounts you can link to your parents? Student checking accounts?

hey, there's your answer.
Get a joint account with a parent (or sometimes they'll have a "custodial" account if your a minor, depending on what state you are in) and use that.

Yup.
Another question... in the PayPal help center, it says that one person can have "a Personal and a Premium/Business" account. Does that mean one person can have a Premium AND a Business? Or just a Personal and then either a Premium or Business? My parents have a Premium, but they would need to sign up for a Business for me. But I don't know if they can do that. I sent an email to PayPal, but they haven't replied yet.

props to you on that one.
