Sounds like stupid question I know, since they say they take only PayPal, but since eBay takes Visa via "processing by PayPal" or whatever, I was wondering if Bricklink does the same. And if you're wondering why I can't use PayPal, it's because the Brickheads at PayPal decided to cancel all students accounts and I'm still 6 months away from 18.

It will be down to individual sellers I believe. You may be able to bank transfer, which can be done easily these days using your banks app. But honestly, just make another PayPal account, or borrow a family members account and stick your card details on for that transaction.

That's what I was thinking unfortunately, sadly I think you need to be 18 to open a PayPal account, so I'll probably just wait 6 months or so since borrowing a family member's card isn't really an option.

On an unrelated note I don't suppose anyone has 35 black air tanks lying around that they don't want anymore?

You don't need to borrow their card, just their account, add your card to the account, make the transaction using your card, then remove your details. That, or do what I did, and set up a """family""" account under the name of a consenting adult, and use that. Don't put it off, I was a TFOL once, you need to get your plastic crack fix, otherwise you'll get withdrawal.
