You can talk about if you have your parents on board can they set up a PayPal account/eBay account in their name). On eBay’s website, they say you have to be 18 to sell, but you can lie about your birthday on there. It doesn’t matter if your eBay account is different than the name on your bank account. You can also lie about your age on Facebook marketplace. I go into more detail about how to sell items on eBay here. That guide also talks about how to make money in high school in general.
You want to connect your PayPal account to a bank account so that when you receive money it can go into a bank account. You can get your parents or someone you know to set up a bank account for you in your parents’ name so that you can have “your own bank account” before you are 18. This way you can connect your bank account to the PayPal account. When your parents make you a bank account you’ll also get a credit card so you now have a credit card you can use to purchase things.
