Firstly most companies like payment processors are going require an 18 year old to do business with them, some kids selling in Ebay have their parents handle their banking.

Accepting payments through paypal is the simplest way to start, I believe the payment is accepted immediately, you can probably arrange to get a order email. There are 3 levels of Paypal account, the 2nd level can accept payments.

Cafepress is one service that can print on a bunch of things, like Zazzle.com you can setup a store there for free?

Vistaprints.com might be a cheaper source of custom printed objects.

First you need to setup a store.
There are tons of pre-built CMS scripts out there that will make it easy for you to set up your eShop.
Here's my favorite: http://www.hotscripts.com/listing/digisales-lite/
Digisales lite is a free shop script that will accept both paypal and bitcoin.
Since you're new to this, let me explain how this works.
First you have to get yourself a credit card or you can use your parent's. Doesn't really matter.
Now register an account on paypal.com where you have to add your credit card info and also the owner's real name and all that info stuff.
Your email address attached to that paypal account will now be used for people to pay you via the digisales script.
After you have installed digisales to your website, you have to add your paypal email and other info such as store name and so on.
Now for the 2nd payment method which is bitcoin. This is an online currency.
You can setup a bitcoin account here: http://www.blockchain.info
This website will create a bitcoin wallet for you (a long string of numbers). Add this wallet to Digisale.
Now you have 2 easy ways for people to pay for these items
Paypal - Money directly to your credit card
Bitcoin - Online money that can be converted to money and sent to your credit card if you want to.
You can also send bitcoin to paypal. That's not really recommended though.
The purpose of bitcoin is the ability to buy and sell things safely.

Also if you don't like the Digisales script, there's another good one here: http://www.opensourcecms.com/scripts/show.php?catid=3
Although this one only works with paypal.

I know this was a lot of info, but hopefully it helps.
Good luck with your website
