More details to this question:
Here's a quick synopsis of what happened: Around 3 months ago I sold a ~150$ Item on eBay. I was paid through paypal and eventually spent all the money. I wasn't aware that there was even a fee to be paid, as I assumed it was automatically deducted from the balance. I just received a letter from a debt collection agency for 30.41$ at my house, I'm sitting here in shock and I'm not worried, but I don't know what to do. 1. Am I legally obligated to pay this? 2. Will this go on my credit report or is it irrelevant because I'm a minor? 3. What do you recommend my next course of action be? Thanks

First and foremost, it sounds like your under 18. You need to have your parents handle this, not you.
