Want to sell movie DVDs online how do I verify age of buyers?

Hi not sure where best to ask this as non of the catorgaries really fit.

I'm in the UK before creating a website for selling Hollywood movie DVDs 15+ and 18+ online how can I verify age of buyer?

Does Paypal offer any age verification during buyer checkout or do i need to ask for buyer's ID?

Thanks

Typically when I have worked setting up systems for people who sell age restricted items, it is just a simple agreement plus the item is sent Adult Signature required.   Is that an option for you?

Most of the dvds have a value of 2-3 pound including 2nd class post if I need to pay an extra £3 for signature I'd have to think about whether is worth selling them.

What do you mean by a simple agreement can you explain more about that?

Thanks

Typically:
[  ]  - I agree that I am of legal age to purchase this product.
I wouldn't do that without adult signature however.   

Most of my clients are in US/Canada so what you need may be different where you are from, I would talk with a lawyer.  Paypal doesn't verify age so it cannot confirm the age of the buyer to the rigor that you would likely need.   

That said if they are fines involved for miss-sale of age restricted goods then I wouldn't touch it if the profit margin are that small.

Yes I agree that its not worth doing. thanks for your time and information.
