You sure? That'd work perfectly :P

works for me and has done for some time

Can these be used for verification with PP?

Yep I use them exactly the same as a debit card

i tried to use it for verification but i cant seem to find the code

anyone have luck with this?

it takes 3 or 4 days to show ... like on a real credit card :-)

Okay, good to know. Let us know how you get on with it.

So which ones don't ask for ID? I'd rather be specific than ask for "The one that won't require ID please" lol ;)

Woolworth everyday card. $2.95 for card and $20 mininal deposit.
I think this one is much better than another Auspost one, that one is reloadble, but everytime you reload, you pay $3.95.

The main question is though do all these prepaid credit card providers take your real name and ID? I'm thinking of preloading like.. $200 and paying off ALL my eBay account fees using the same card or continue to do what I'm doing and thats leaving $100-$150 in each PP account for eBay fees. That being said if I only use one account once that month then I would rather have the $$ than have it sitting there.

Do they care if its linked to your name you think? (And you've been banned?)
Or could you have the card under say B Waters instead of Brad Waters (Banned)

hi

i dont think the name matters on a pre-paid, the whole point of them is to be safe online.

Name makes no difference - the card should be registered with your stealth address.

But if they ask to see your drivers license for ID wht then :P

There is no registration or ID requirement when buying the Woolies card, it is ideal for a one off ebay fee payment it is also ideal for verifying a Paypal account although it takes a few days for the Paypal code to show on the statement which is the same with my 'proper' CC's when I have used them to verify an account. The only possible drawback is that you must load it with a minimum of $20 but as you have a physical card you can spend this in a store or use the money to build up an other Paypal account.. my two bobs worth :-)

but woolies ones are not reloadable:(

they do have a reloadable one available from them, its mentioned on the web site

If all your accounts have different info, I wouldn't use the same ONE card to pay all fees.
I know it's a pain, but different cards for different accounts. No linking!

Do NOT use the same card across accounts.

you need to apply+provide ID for that option

So ultimately the best option for us is ..?

Woolworths everyday money card for $2.95. Note that it's NOT reloadable. You need ID for reloadable ones.

I used these guys this week just to give it a try - bought online, opened account and paid via BPAY (Netbank Bill Paying) and received all the details within 2 days. Paid off my eBay fee and it didn't require a name, just put in the VCC details sent to me and worked a charm!

You can buy in store also if you don't feel like buying online, Woolworths everyday money may be a better option though at $2.95, that site has a one off $5.50 fee.
