You need a credit card, and you cannot ship electronics or the such.
Just books if i am not mistaken

i used a credit card last month to buy a smart cover for my ipad :D and that was my first time i buy from amazon, try to go to blom bank and get an internet card i dont think it has restriction for -18. I think some banks have prepaid cards for internet usage as well

Head to class buy a prepaid credit card, it can only be used online. It costs 60$ and has a value of 60$.
Option2: head to bank audi. They have that young credit card option. For people under 18, you can recharge it anytime with a value greater than 27$. One year fee 10$

you can get whatever you want from Ebay, it isn't just books
You can pay any adult who have an internet card or master card .
I think i have found a way for Paypal, still working on it
I can ship whatever you need if you want, PM me

Simple as NuclearVision said in Option 2, i am actually using the same thing. But the only difference is that i use my mom's main account to create a sub-account for online purchases, so that she disables me from simply buying using her own deposit in the bank. Thus once i want to buy a game from amazon, all i do is give her the needed cash and she "charges" my CC. The CC lasts for 2 years and it is called (as on the CC itself) EMBARK. It costs $20 to renew the CC, but i didnt get pass that yet.

You can mostly just buy books from amazon.com .
a friend of mine told me once that you can make an account with Aramex where they give you an address in the U.s. Then you have amazon.com ship the packages there, and then pay aramex to have it shipped to Lebanon. I haven't tried this myself and I can't confirm if it's truly viable, but it's something to look into if you're really interested.

You can definitely buy from amazon, I always buy from there. But the items can't be shipped to your home, it will be shipped to Aramex, and you take it from there. Just go to Aramex and tell them. How come you can't have a credit card?? I am 15 and I have one, heck my brother is 12 and he even have a pre-paid card?!

So whatever I buy as books from Amazon they'll get automatically delivered to Aramex without me informing Aramex prior to that? Will they charge any additional fees? Any idea how much delivery to Lebanon would take? Do Amazon provide any online means to track your items online and see where they are? Would be greatly appreciated if someone can answer these to me. Thanks!

Yes, though I'm not sure what the problem is with the delivery, I've had items delivered to my home and to my office without me budging.
Will they charge any additional fees?
No, everything concerning the price and delivery charge is done online with amazon.

Depends on what kind of delivery you chose. Best case (most expensive) is ~3 days, worst case is 3 to 4 weeks.

I don't remember but I'm pretty sure they do.

@xterm thanks for the answers, greatly appreciated! :)

Amazon sent me an email a couple of days ago asking me to review the book I bought from them assuming that I did receive it, but I didn't. Does that mean that my shipment is now in Lebanon with Aramex? Shouldn't be with Liban Post? Should I call and ask?
MohammedSF
@Ayman, are you using Shop&Ship ? if yes then you can track your shipment in your account @ Shopandship.com
Don't give Amazon a feedback until you receive your books and make sure you get what you buy..
Ayman
@MohammedSF no I didn't use Shop and Ship just selected the standard shipping provided by Amazon.

what address did you provide?
Ayman
@DarkNe0441 My home address in Mansourieh.

I don't think Amazon directly ships to Lebanon man... You have to use some sort of shipping company: aramex, borderlinx, dhl, whatsoever, which give you addresses in the US, UK, and China. Then when you buy stuff online, you use that address, and once your stuff arrives to that address the company would forward it to their headquarters and depending on the company, they'll deliver it to your house or you'll have to pick it up.

Of course they do. It's international shipping. They don't ship most electronics, but books are fine. Tried it myself several times over the years.
@Ayman there's no tracking on the package? You'd find that in your Amazon orders page. It might be stuck in our mail sysetm, but LibanPost should be relatively good.
Ayman
@DarkNe0441 They do ship to Lebanon without any mediators, read

@scorpioxy No my shipment does not have tracking enabled since I chose Standard Shipping(which is the cheapest). Other shipments have tracking available but they're much more pricey.
As scorpioxy said it might be stuck here but not sure if I should call liban post or aramex. Usually liban post delivers letters to us on the same address that I used so I don't think they're lost.
