problem with that, as always, is the kid signs up for an adult site, the parents see the statement. the parents get pissed because they couldnt do their job and point the blame at the merchant thereby creating a chargeback.

it's a mess that just keeps getting messier and the association refuses to acknowledge the mess THEY have created.
So, why does Visa allow Ebay to use them as a way to verify that you are 18 to get into their adult area?
