Barclays have always been snotty about helping.
Some of their tellers act like the funds are coming out of their own wallet. | The Following User Says Thank You to GreenBean For This Useful Post: | |

[quote=joffieJaffa;634708]Could be a waste of a bank account if he has one already added.
Much better to just buy a one off vcc.[/quote
Thought other person was using his.barclays to be the card linked to entropay to fund all the.vcc,s.
It wouldnt be a waste of a bank account as he is referring to the problem with entropay, not pp. They dont share details.
But i agree that if OP can get another vcc, it would save all the hassle.

Regrads warez | We have a Wilkinson store in our nearest main town, never noticed in they do these vanilla visa's, on the other hand if they only do them in £25 and £50 values, that sounds suspiciously like other pre-paid cards in this country that once you have used the money on them they cannot be reloaded, so you literally can only use the £25 or £50 and then that's it, you might as well throw them in the bin, they certainly wouldn't be any use for anything that needed to be paid or had a value over £50 and could never be used again anyway, the other thing with pre-paids in the UK is that they cannot be linked to PayPal anyway, maybe in the future, but definately not now.

Right I see, so there is no limit in theory to the numbers of 3v cards that could be bought, because that is another problem with pre-paid cards in this country they can be small limits on how many one person can buy. I bought one from the post office, it was one of their generically created pre-paids, it coukd definately not be used with paypal, in fact it was very gradually being introduced for any sort of Internet buying, and that was only towards the end of last year so recent

Tried to confirm a stealth with 3V yesterday Paypal wouldn't accept it so it looks like VCC's from the wonderful people on here is my only route now.

Yes, a chew on sometimes with codes but entropay usually deal with any probs you have if you drop them a message :-)

I'm going to have one final go at Entropay there's a saying along the lines that "if you sling enough mud at something it eventually sticks" (Kept it clean)
I hope this is the case!

I use Lloyds....a couple of teething probs in the beginning but was easily resolved.
So agree....perhaps adding a different bank to Barclays might be a wise move to save all the hassle :-)
