advice needed on prepaid card please

jayer29 · 08-10-2008, 06:47 PM

I have read the suspension guide just need clarification on two things,
can i use my real address to get a prepaid credit card ( will a uk meastro card work- from splash plastic?) and a address in ebay will ebay pick up on this?

are they any uk virtual credit card sites thanks

also if a company sends me the card via post to my real address/ can i change this address to a bogus one with the company after receiving the card at my real address then register with ebay

When you apply for the card you will have to email or fax your ID, also you cannot change the address for 6 months with the company I used. (mycashplus)

I have not used it for this so I don't know what the implications are.

The problem we have in the UK is banks, if you have bad credit you are screwed. Would be nice to get hold of a Debit / CC with a bank account with fake details.

it worked for me,make sure you load it with about £20, i think you get 2 cards,one default andone named, try again maybe

Entropay works fine, I have used it on many occassions, infact I used it today to verify a backup account, and no you do not need to load it with £20, paypal puts a charge of £1 on your credit card, so the minimum balance of £5 for your entropay card is fine.
