[quote=Anonymous]My DS (14) does a lot of gaming and I always require Paypal for payment of games or payment to individuals for things in games.  It much safer than inputting your credit card into the games site, etc.  The key is only I have the password and I use two-step authentication with Paypal.  He can't buy anything unless it goes through me first.  He determines if it's a legit offer, if he really wants the game, or the in-game item, then he pays me first.  Then, I authorize it through Paypal.

If he gets scammed on trading or buying an item, then it's on him and he learns to be more careful next time.  He did get hacked one time with one of his games.  A player created a false login with trading and got his password.  He got the account suspended while he took back control and then created some extra security steps to prevent in the future - plus reading up on how these guys work.  He hasn't had a problem since.  Almost all these places use PayPal, so I would definitely go that route.  And as a previous poster said, make the primary payment your credit card though for extra protection.[/quote]
