HomuraAkemiTheHero Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) Hi i was wondering how you send gifts to people on Neopets since i was going to send my cousin something on Neopets and i'm not really sure how to gift people so thanks in advance for whoever answers this. Thanks to everyone who posted on this and now i just have to go to the trading post but since it's seems that using the trading post for np items is the only way so again thanks for the help.

Mouseykins Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Are you referring to a Neopoint gift or a Neocash gift? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyokoHateshinai Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 *Looks around and whispers* Shhhh, you don't tell them your real age. You don't do that. As far as I know, NC isn't possible if you are under 13. But if you're talking about NPs, you can go to the trading post =) Or you could auction it in a NF only auction for a really low price.

This is partially correct. For Neopoint items you can also click on the item in your inventory and under the dropdown select give to neofriend, then you'll have to type/copy+paste the username of whoever you're sending the gift too and click submit. I'm not sure about Neocash items for accounts under 13, but if you're wanting to gift an NC item you'll need a special gift box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure about Neocash items for accounts under 13, but if you're wanting to gift an NC item you'll need a special gift box. I don't think so. I'm 12 and I don't have the "give to neofriend" option in the dropdown box. If we're talking about NP, best use the trading post. I'm not sure about the NC items.

coltom Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Right, under 13 can not add Neofriends or transfer items. So you can't have an "NF only" auction. Your only option for neopoint items is trading post. Your blood cousin just makes a low offer on what ever you want to gift, and you accept. As far as NC items, I've never been able to figure out a way to transfer them from my daughters account to somewhere else. Gift boxes don't work, as you can't give gifts.

rinoa812 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I didnt even realize you could give nc items away lol. but yeah i seem to remember they limit alot of differant stuff for people who are under 13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ11 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 This might be off the mark but couldnt you just get parental consent? Im wondering why you dont want to get parental consent :shiftyeyes_anim: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltom Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 If I were to give my daughter consent, I have seen no way to switch it back to no consent. Therefore, she'd be subject to huckster and petty little thieves that somehow take pleasure in stealing from a child. Really, not a lot of honour in stealing from children. She has already had her first account stolen from her on Moviestar planet. Also, you have to send a fax in. (I'll explain what a fax is, if needed, for those not versed in obsolete technology.)

Wildbreeze Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 This might be off the mark but couldnt you just get parental consent? Im wondering why you dont want to get parental consent :shiftyeyes_anim: I wouldn't have asked for it when I was 10, because I knew my parents wouldn't agree. I didn't have friends on Neopets to talk to or send things to, and they wouldn't have wanted me on the Neoboards. Some parents don't want a lot of online interaction for their young kids.

Emily Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I agree with Wildbreeze. I probably wouldn't have either when I was 10, as I wouldn't have wanted my parents to have to deal with it (though the process isn't all that long or difficult) for a game. We didn't get internet until I was almost 13 and even then it wasn't really functional internet until I was in high school *feels old* so it never really came up. If you feel like your parents might be receptive to it, you could ask. If not, you can enjoy plenty on the site without it until you turn 13 :) It's fairly easy to send items through the trading post, as you have complete control over who receives them (just make sure you don't accidentally accept someone else's offer than the person who it's intended for). Just get them to offer one of the many wonderful junk items we get from dailies :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im wondering why you dont want to get parental consent :shiftyeyes_anim: I can't get parental consent due to the fact that i don't have a fax machine for faxing and then there's no printer for my mom's laptop since the old one broke and Neopets does not take emails i don't think. Are you referring to a Neopoint gift or a Neocash gift? I was referring to a neopoint gift. I guess i should have been more specific but i figured out how to now.

coltom Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 If your parents do decide to change your status, and you need a fax, I have found that the UPS Store provides very reasonable rates for faxing. However, if you were mine to be concerned about, I'd rather you did your talking here instead of the neoboards. My impression is this place is better policed and a little safer than neopets.

You can actually send faxes for free right from your computer without printing. The only issue would be that the form probably requires your mother's signature, and I'm not sure an e-signature would count. But it's worth a try. I've personally used http://faxzero.com/ before, but there are a lot of free companies out there. If you stay off the Neoboards and only use it to connect with people you already know (your cousin), maybe your mom would be willing.
