how to pay?

How do you pay your eBay fees without paypal/bank

Would using Vanilla Gift Card each month (NOT pre-load) raise any flags?

I've used a gift card to pay overdue fees a handful of times, so I can say for sure it won't raise any red flags as a one-time thing but I can't say for sure if paying that way regularly would raise any concerns.

Why are you not able to use your Paypal account? I pay my fees daily before withdrawing money so my due fees don't get high.

I never use PP to pay my eb fees - always with a VCC or gift card in ADVANCE of payment due date.

It has not caused issues for me in YEARS. It doesn't raise flags as long as you pay your fees

Sounds like a massive pain in the @$$ honestly...

I have used VCCs now and then when my PayPal balance is a bit short.

It is OK to use the PayPal balance though so long as you have enough to cover the fees.

Not so much a pain when you're used to it. But as James said, if your pp can cover the fees and money is FREE and CLEAR, it will work.

I just happen to like using the cc in advance - easy-peasy

have bought a vanilla gift card (shows visa on it) - red packaging/silver ribbon
and assigned a zip code via vanillagift.com

and when doing one-time payment eBay declined the card? in the US

checked the card and it shows $1.00 from eBay, INC (2 since i've tried card twice)

Did you assign the proper zip code? The one that matches your account?

Sounds like you're failing AVS. That's why I ask. Is Ebay keeping your $1?

Ah! I thought using a Pre-paid card won't work with eBay. I guess it won't work while trying to buy something off ebay though. Right?

I usually pay using Paypal balance. Never had any problems really.

As long as funds are free and clear then.
