IFFFFF you have a PayPal account, then you can do that, OTHERWISE----You will have to take your check to the bank ( where you have a bank account) and wait for it to clear and then the bank will put the cash into your bank account. It is almost impossible to get a store to cash a check on a company they have never heard of and an out of state bank, aside from the fact that you are only 14 years old, who MUST have a Stste Issued ID..

DO YOU HAVE A BANK ACCOUNT??  I don't know about NOW, BUTTTT when I opened my PayPal account years ago, You had to have a Bank Account in order to get a PayPal account.

IFFFFFFF you don't have a bank account, THENNNN------IF you have a state issued photo ID, you could probably take your check to a check cashing store, and they will charge you a fee to cash your check. You will have to check with them about the fee,
because different stores charge different fees.

Sounds like maybe you should talk to your folks about this.  Maybe they would cash it for you and deposit it in their account.   :dontknow: :dontknow:

my experience with cashing these "internet" checks with stores is that they won't do it because the bank is out of state. i tried to cash a check from inbox dollars at a publix grocery store in florida and they wouldn't except it.

if you request a check, just sign it over to your parents and have them cash it for you.

Well, I don't have a credit card or bank account so I wasn't able to use paypal. What I did was the "Rush Card" offer ($1 credit). Once I received my card, setup my fc payments with their direct deposit. That's prob your best option. Good luck!  :thumbsup:

Banks, check cashing centers, walmart, tons of places do it you just need a valid state id and it depends how much a check is for.

I am only 16, not much older then you... I use direct transfer because I have had a bank account for the past few years.

Your parents might have a bank account, just sign the check over to them and they can cash it for you.

Ohh and FYI, PayPal age limit is 18... :(

Get a student bank account if you can. Go to Walmart and they can cash the check for you for a fee. Have your parents cash it for you.

I would go to your bank and sign up for a free checking account or a free savings account. If you choice the savings account option then you could start saving money for when you get older. Trust me I wish I saved more when I was younger. It would be a great way to start saving for college, and the expenses that go along with that. Good luck!

I know it has been a while but to sign a check over you just write the following in the endorse section of the check.

----

Pay to the order of:
Print the name of the person you are giving the check to.
Sign your name here.

----

If you do that the other person should be able to bring the check to their bank and receive the cash for it.

Hope this helps!

i saw walmart on one of the posts.  i think that's a good one ... you will have to have identification of some sort however.  sometimes like 2 proofs of who you are.
