does anyone know of an online forum that i could set up a store for pretty cheap that doesn't use paypal? ....my dad stole my identity online and now i can't use paypal. leaving me unable to sell my stuff online :[

You can still use Etsy as long as your credit or debit card is in your name. Accepting PayPal can be one of the best things for selling online as a lot of people are iffy about mailing checks to people they don't know.

Your option if you're unable to use PayPal is to close your current checking account and start a new one--you'll get all new account and card numbers so you can make a fresh PayPal account.

thats a good idea! thank you.
