    Yeah you have to be over 18 as your entering a legal contract with the seller.

    When I registered with ebay I altered my DOB to make myself 18, I should imagine plenty of people to do it.

    Quoted for truth...I'm only a year off anyway, it's fine.

    If it really bothers you OP, sell on your parent's account? I did that for a bit, made my own because they got protective over their 100% feedback :P

    Nope, just a normal debit card is fine.
