You can get a paypal, but you will have to sign up under your parents name if you are under 18. I have one in my mother's name but it's my account and I have the debit card for it. Even when I turn 18 next year, I probably am not going to bother with changing my paypal account info, it's all good the way it is now.
Also, paying with paypal (and henceforth, buying on ebay) is no different than buying from NCSX or play-asia, because paypal comes through a credit card exactly the same way as would buying through any store. I have been using paypal and ebay for years (since 2002) and have never had a problem with either, so your parents fears are entirely irrational.

More importantly, since I don't think I am getting the vibe that you buy a lot of stuff online, you do realize that Japanese games WILL NOT run on an American ps2 and that you will need either a Japanese ps2, swap magic, or a modchip, and therefore most likely need paypal...right?
