How to age verify

[Wildcard2]

I have a main stream site (that will be going live soon) that the products being sold are only to be sold to 18+ only. Is there any way to ensure this happens or any precautions that can be taken to only sell to a 18+. Is there any way to cover my butt with anything legal wise that the buyer would check mark to agree to being over 18, and would that protect me?

Any ideas would help.

Have them register to the site with a valid credit card in order to verify that they are 18+

Well its for selling airsoft guns. So government kinda cares who I sell too. But in this day and age having a Credit card doesn't mean you are over 18 still does it. Or is that the only way. Plus have a little check box saying "I am over 18 and legal to purchase this order" which will then let them continue on to actually purchase the equipment. But is that enough these days or is there more that can be done, without killing the sale.

There is no simple way to verify age on the Internet.

We require the applicant (webcam models) submit government issued ID. Further, at times an image of them holding the ID and that their payment data matches the address on the ID ... That is a bit much for a air-gun purchase.

Look at how your competitors are doing it and see if that would satisfy government regulations there -- best idea.

good question....

Credit Cards are for sure no way to verify as most high school kids these days have a debit Mastercard or Visa that will work as a credit card online.

You'd think there'd be some delivery service that included id checks for this kind of thing

We don't have one yet. But it is in the works to have a re-branding online store available to people.

Might have to see about having a sign for the package at delivery (and showing 18+ ID) or they forfeit their order..Hmmm

I don't think you can dictate policies to delivery companies.

"must be 18+ to purchase from us" in the footer should be sufficient...
