Eh. I feel like I shouldn't say anything. But 
again I foolishly must take a stand. I know that 
the ebay rules state you must be over 18. I think 
this has something to do with laws on minors 
bidding or something. But I don't understand how 
someone under 18 automatically cannot make an 
online transaction. In fact, I think that on the 
whole people between the age of 14-17 (OF WHICH I 
AM NO LONGER ONE OF, so whoever it was that told 
ebay that I wasn't 18 can sleep soundly, 
especially since I had to fax them my birth 
certificate to reinstate my membership and sell 
on ebay again...no thanks to whoever it was) are 
often treated like criminals or just idiots for 
no reason. Which is why you get pointles curfew 
laws and the like... (which means if I drove home 
at 2 AM last year I would have been breaking the 
law, but now it's ok). I don't see how one or two 
years difference really makes you that much 
smarter or experienced. Of course it depends on 
the person. Like that survery someone had on here 
about the average age of cel collectors... quite 
a few were under 18. I started collecting cels 
when I was 15. I say if someone is responsible 
enough to buy expensive animation art online, 
they should be trusted with an auction.

Anyway. That's just what I think.
