Hey, im only 17 years old and i dont have a credit card. i do have a debit card however, or a convenience card. (the one you use a pin number

)
anyways, is it possible to buy from the ingame store with a debit card?

yeah, just fill in the infomation needed witht that card, i also use a debit card to buy stuff from the online store, but be warned that if your caard has no start date, you must enter one, so u need to guess the month and year you got your card

hope this helps

just make a paypal account (tell them your 18) and you give them some bank details and then you should be set.

If it lets you do POS and it has the Visa, Master Card, AmEx, or Discover logo on the front, then you're fine.

But if it's a Debit Card (Electron) then where it says "Name" you must type "Electron" or it won't work. Had this problem a while back, alliance member solved it for me

Enjoy !

PayPal can't be used in the online store.

No it won't as Canadian debit cards aren't like an Electron card which looks like a CC as those in the US can use CC as debit cards.We can just use them for online banking and at debit machines.So the answer is No.
