I need to approve my Child's account but don't have an active PayPal account to pay the 50c charge. Why can't a simply pay it with a credit card? My PayPal account is old and locked. Why is PayPal the only payment option???

Christian Official comment There is a free option to verify your child's tinkercad account. See the option on step 4 below.
The Parent Approval workflow is this:
1. Child signs up at tinkercad.com and enters birthdate.
2. Then they are prompted to enter parent's email if they are age 12 or younger.
3. Parent receives email and clicks through to create their own Tinkercad account - using THEIR OWN birthdate. (To create your own adult account, you might need to first log out of your child's account if they used the same computer).
4. Once the parent account is created, they will be prompted to conduct a $.50 Paypal transaction OR (free) print, sign and email the form to tinkercad.parents@autodesk.com and we can verify the approval.
Here is some more information on the entire process: https://tinkercad.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/205849068-My-child-wants-to-use-Tinkercad-How-does-that-work-
We also suggest using Chrome or Firefox to follow the links in the email you receive - many users have reported problems with other browsers. If you have any trouble, please reply with your child's case-sensitive user ID.
