Classic youngest kid syndrome. Mama bird can't let the last bird out of the nest because she won't be a mama anymore. Coupled with being the youngest, so you invariably have to pay for all of your older sibling's mistakes. Sit down with her. Talk to her. And if it doesn't go through, go open your own bank account and transfer your money there. It might piss her off at first, but in the long run she'll learn to respect you as an adult who can make his own decisions.
You just nailed my problem with paypal, and my life RIGHT on the head! you deserve infinite brownie points, or an unlimited-wish wishing rock or something!! : )
I think what will happen, is that i will convince her to make a PayPal account with our family email (the one i use for this website)
and then when i leave home, i'll make my own.
She'll probably thank me for wanting to make that account later on ; )

I'm 22, and I still have my parents name on my account. I'm fortunate enough to have their help paying for school for the past four years, and I pay my school bills through that account. If they're helping me out financially, I don't see any reason to block them out of the account. idk what OP's situation is, but no shame imo
similar situation to mine : /

OK then, putting things in perspective, I've been using Paypal since you were 5 and have never had any real issues. There was one time I sold something on eBay and they held my money until the tracking # showed it was delivered, but nothing like account hacks or whatever. Go for it.
coolbeans : )
i'll go for it.

Low-gain (formerly known as lameboy) and unicorn dream attack used to do a semi regular podcast "radio" show called MSDJ showcasing great chip stuff by artists from 8bitcollective and micromusic ...Those were the days. Anyhow, i think you can still listen. Great tunes as well as a great historical reference to some o the chip music back then.
thanks : ) have you ever heard of a certain youtube user by the username of 'Krelez' ?
he has awesome chiptune mixes, as well as ReclusiveLemming, i have a dozen chiptunes from one of his playlists : )

It's adorable how accessible you think chipmusic is.
No, there isn't a traditional radio station anywhere as far as I know but there are quite a few internet ones that you can probably find through google.
lol well it kinda is, you can get MIDI files and XM files (for mod plug trackers) for just about every chiptune, just about anywhere!
not to mention the 100+ hours of chiptune music lying around youtube! its great : )

i think trustworthy is the wrong word. Paypal is very reputable, and theyre not going to sell your credit card information or anything. Your mom is probably remembering the early, pre-ebay era of Paypal, where they were kind of a shadier, less secure company...
Using your credit/debit card information on Paypal is typically more secure than just directly giving it to the seller.
I think a better summary would be that Paypal is VERY buyer friendly, sometimes at a massive inconvenience to sellers. definitely two sides of the coin with that imo, an early chiptuning me got his money back from midines guy so...
i think you might've nailed that issue on the head right there, she's probably heard of, or experienced paypal's shady side back then, no wonder : /
