interesting...(being a parent)...

would they have a problem with buying you a basketball? Or a deck/booster of Magic: The Gathering cards? Or a console game?

...just pure curiosity

A basketball, I think my parents would let me buy that because it's good exercise.

A deck of Magic cards, No! Yu-gi-oh cards, NO! My religion, which I will never give out, forbids things about magic.

Console games, my parents would not let me get it. Besides my newest console is the Gamecube, and I can't buy games with that. My parents don't really understand why I play video games. They think it's a waste of time. Even though I finished my homework very quickly, I run to the computer to play Fiesta, then my parents don't let me play saying, "It's a waste of time." Even though I got lots of time to waste.

I believe there were other options besides credit cards...like money orders etc... also the exchange itself is handled by paypal which is sorta known for being trustworthy.

Spending too much time is also very subjective and relative. But that could be a whole 'nuther thread.

Don't have Paypal, my parents don't have paypal, my parents rarely use the internet. Money orders, I don't get how to do that, and unless someone explains it to me, I will never use it.

depends on whether you/your parents/bill-payer think it worth it I guess, so it comes down to personal opinion..

My parents would never think buying clothes for a virtual person is worth it. I don't even think my parents think Fiesta is worth it.
