Well done, business orientated, to buy from alibaba, your best bet is buying through escrow it gives you added security incase you are not happy with the product or if any issues, alibaba will not release the money to the seller until you confirm receipt and happy with the products. Alibaba will send you an email to confirm that you are happy with transactions. To pay from any newsagent shops, they sell prepaid mastercards, they are usually about a 10ner or so, you buy it load money on it and buy items on Alibaba.
You do need to register the card at some stage if you need to load a lot of money on it. But it works perfect as a mastercard without heavy interest or any loan.Goodluck.. From an ebayer to an ebayer.......http://stores.ebay.co.uk/SolaFashion?_rdc=1.
Since your under the legal age of 18 to sign/undertake contracts anything you do is illegal unless you can get a parent/guardian to set up an account in their name(and be responsible for it). Creating a Paypal account is in fact signing a contract. Read their T&Cs.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
