Pay Amazon with debit card at 16?
I'm currently 16 years old and registered with Sparkasse. I wanted to ask if it's legal to order from Amazon with my Sparkasse debit card (Mastercard). Aside from the terms and conditions, do I have to worry about legality or future account closure if I pay here?
And would Amazon or Sparkasse even allow the purchase to go through (should it not be allowed) or would they not know?
Apart from the AGBs, you can open an account on Amazon, link your bank account with it and possibly order it. At Amazon, however, you can never be sure whether an old age certificate is required at the first order.
And then you’re fucked.
Therefore, never redeem vouchers on Amazon if you are underage.
If your Amazon account is connected to the Amazon account of your parents, that is no problem at all.
And can I start my own account and pay for it or not?
Yes, but that must be linked to that of your parents as they must confirm the purchase.
