Forget fake IDs: Can kids buy alcohol on eBay?

While eBay prohibits the sale of all alcohol with the exception of some wines sold by licensed wine sellers, it does allow for the sale of collectible alcohol containers.

But that didn't stop one teen who worked with "20/20" from obtaining alcohol through the site. We asked Xander, 13, to head to the site and try to buy liquor there.

But Xander was able to successfully place an order with two other vendors.
