New Seller Account With Paypal Virtual Debit Card

[meowmix345]

Hello,
In the past, i have no issues with creating virtual debit cards from paypal to create seller accounts. However, now i think amazon is starting to detect the paypal virtual cards since now i can no longer list my items until i add a valid credit card. I can create the account successful, however when i try to list an item i am automatically redirected to the page to add/update a credit card. I also noticed that i get this email as well:

Thank you for your interest in selling at Amazon.com

I guess amazon updated there system to start either detecting paypal generated cards or now verifying the card billing address to make sure its legit. Guess this might make creating stealth accounts a bit harder since now we need a verified credit card

Try gift2go. You can order a $20.00 gift/debit card, and register it with any name and address, but it takes a few days to arrive. Then you have to activate it. This should work for Amazon. anyone else want to chime in?

Dont forget though, in 5 more months, your probably gonna have to provide a SS# also, so you can pay your taxes on the merchandise you sell regardless of whether you sell 20k or not. Just a good excuse for ebay/paypal, and Amazon to have your SS# on file, and to verify your legit identity........ Goodbye stealth accounts!

I dont think so

register your account in europe and everything is ok.

Or why do you think we can now add european bank accounts on Amazon.com/ and or Add european adresses with a US Bank Account on Amazon.com/de/uk?

Register your accounts with a EU adress, then you dont need to provide a SSN, because this number dont exist in europe

And dont forget to use a european-IP of course

If you have a full-US-Account u would be stupid when you provide your social.
Take a EIN easy to get and not so easy to verify!

Real Companies have only EIN not SSN!

I do not think amazon or ebay will ask for ss numbers when signing up. That would be sure fire way to kill their selling platforms. Id say 85% of the sellers are stealth..
So it would be a big blow that they will lose revenue if everyone was actually banned... Just my opinion

and a lot seller on both plattforms are international!

and thats the reason they made these hidden-doors in the past for these seller!
