my only good idea which i dunno if it would work was if i had it addressed to the peeps next door and they woulde think it was just a mix-up and bring it over. but then my parents might be home at the time they brought it over.

so any1 else with ideas?

thanx to all who contributed!

You can get a job to pay for the PO box (babysitting, racking lawns, selling jewelery, selling address labels, be creative you can get a job to pay for a PO box, I don't think you need to have an ID or whatever).

Please don't freak out! My parents think I spend way to much time on laundro too! But just get on like once every 2 days or something.

the friend thing is they only thing that has been proved to work but if none of your friends can get it then that's a problem.

i'll be thinking and i'll let you know if i think of something.

Yet you shot them all down, and now you're telling THEM what goes around comes around? Please.

All I can say is that if there is no way you can get this to work by:
- shipping to friends.
- p/o boxing it.
- convincing your parents.
then there is no way. period. Thats all.

I don't think there are many other ideas available... I mean, the best suggestion I could give to you is to talk it over with your parents, or ask your friends if any of them could help out. I know that these suggestions were already used, but these are probably the most ideal ones.
I wouldn't feel right if I had to sneak the packages in and out (like your neighbor idea) because you never know when you'll be caught. If you have a penpal (that your parents know about) ask the people you buy or sell with to put your penpals name as the return address.

You can't just have it so you'll hear the positive side of doing something your parents don't want you to do. If you didn't want to read about the negative aspects, then you should have posted...

Sorry I didn't help.

your 12. deal with it. my parents didn't let me do shit when i was 12.

oh yeah... and..

[[c)let's just say we get the P.O. box-then i hafta pay 4 it. Y would i be sellings stuff on laundro then if i'd be losing money 4 paying 4 the p.o. box.]]

well, ignoring the total grammatic error in this sentence, you sorta negated yourself. you're not losing money paying for the po box. welcome to the land of initial costs. i mean, you can't make money without the po box, so you're not really getting out ahead without the po box...

sorry. i'm being old and bitter now.

Try to show your parents that people you'll be dealing with are NOT pedophiles, molestors, whatever... by showing them a few peoples feedback. Get them to look around the site, maybe they'll have a good vibe on the site.

But to get back on topic, yeah, there are no other ideas out there. Unless you manage to sell tons of crap and still end up making money even after paying for your PO box.
