Entropay Card Problem With PayPal

Overall £20 odd for a gift card is a pretty low price to pay for a solid account. The balance can be used to pay eBay fees so its only the card fee itself that you are out which is under £3. All in all not a bad price

Do you still need to confirm these Gift Cards ? What I mean by this is do they send a payment and code to your Bank Account ?

The two accounts I refer to have been going for years.

Just renewing the year old Entro Card.

Mine are normally aged 2-3 months before adding an entropay card. That seems to do the trick.

Are you still getting the 'we need more information about your credit card' limitation?

So if you were creating a new stealth account Today how long leave it after verifying the Bank Account before attaching the Entropay Card ?

Typically I add the card straight away.

Usually I have no issues.

Are you selling items in that 2-3 month period or just logging in and out and building cookies ?

I just log in and view items, watch items etc. Then when I'm about ready to sell on an account, I add entropay and bank at the same time, verify the bank and verify the entropay card with the 4-digit code. Then I list a few cheap items and very slowly build up to selling my usual items. I usually have 20 selling accounts on the go at once.

Most frausdters are in it for the quick smash and grab. If you've ever listed a high-value item and had a nibble from a scammer, typically their account is less than 2 days old. If PayPal and eBay can prevent people that use non-avs cards(cards which prevent PayPal from identifying your address) from bidding and listing quickly, they will wipe out a good number of the scammer's accounts. Most sellers selling highly-stealable items will set their buyer requirements to 'has a CC on file'. I can tell you from my own experience that there has been a huge increase in people trying to send mocked up PayPal emails and requesting items be shipped to another address. What'a more, 2 years ago, these morons were asking sellers to ship to Nigeria. Suddenly that moved to Holland, and now they give you a UK address.

Forum members may have their own ideas on aging their accounts before using them, but there's a reason that the sellers here charge higher items for older accounts. The older the account, the less likely you are a scammer in eBay and PayPal's eyes.

I haven't tried to attach the Card yet

OK, keep us posted.

Need as much feedback as possible.

Cheers.

I'm still using entropay every day and having no problems.

None of the described issues for me either, I also am weening myself off them some what. There are many ways to skin a cat!, pardon the expression
