How to pay ebay fees
 

Hi guys, my paypal account has been suspended. Ebay is still fine and im still selling. I live in australia How do i pay my ebay fees now? Is there any other gift card other than entro pay? Please let me know. Thanks

I am sure that your banks in Australia issue bank-backed gift credit cards, right? Buy those or prepaid gift credit cards and pay off the fees.

Other folx will correct me if I am wrong no doubt.

You can buy virtual Visa cards to use, virtual v card.com.au

They work well for any type of online use.

You order that then they deliver a physical card? Or just e-mail.

They email you the some of the details, the rest are available in your account on their website.
It takes a few days so you need to order ahead.

I think they charge about $5.50 for the card and you can order them for various amounts $50 to $1000.
And they are valid for 9 months.

the cool feature of v-vcard is you can sign up with your details, then gift them to anybody with any address :clap:

Australia Post also offer a reloadable prepaid visa card for just under $8

Australia Post - Reloadable Prepaid Visa cards

That's what I might use to pay my fee's.

Or you could buy a vcc from one of the boys in here. :D

Do you have to give a name/ID when you buy prepaid visa cards? Because if you pay with a name thats been suspended on an ebay account (eg; your real name) won't they match them up? Just checking for the best option as I need a way to pay my ebay fees too :D

I use a virtual card for paying my fees on accounts that don't have PP.
Just sign up to virtual and buy a card for what ever amount you need.
As they there use by is 9 months, just calculate how much your fees might be for however long in advance, and get that amount.
It doesn't matter about the name, when it comes to paying your fees they only what the numbers.
You have to use your real ID for signing up, but I buy several cards for different accounts.

As long as they are paid their fees, they don't really care.

sign up with entropay - i found them to be the best entropay.com

really? I hadnt any luck with them, pp limits you overnight. and ebay suspend u for some other silly reason. and that is pretty much the same in the forums here with other people trying to use them.

What has been your success with entropay? or do u work for them?

no, I don't work for them ! I have had my account canned overnight using their VCC to pay my seller fees, but using it and then verifying it in Paypal has worked on nine account so far - so good.

So what ends up being the better option for us Aussies? :P Using any card under my name whether it be prepaid or not I'll always be worried it'll be traced back to a suspended account paying fees for a non suspended account.

You won't be tracked via your card ALONE - provide all details in your stealth info.

why not to pay directly through your real cc?

Well we are reminded over and over and over to make sure nothing on our stealth accounts are related to our suspended accounts. By doing the above I'd be using my name and CC that were previously used on suspended accounts.

What about transferring funds from your real a/c into the bank a/c your stealth ebay is linked to and make a one off payment? Just a suggestion, I've done that in the past and it worked for me. Good luck:)

I'm not 100% on this but doesn't it mention somewhere on here or the Stealth guide that by transferring funds from your stealth bank account to your Paypal it enables PP access to the real name on the account? (IF they ever were to investigate that particular account)

I read the same, although I wonder whether that is really the case or not. Maybe there's only 1 way to find out

It is true.

You really do not want to do that - I mean you REALLY do not want to do that!:eek:

Just go to Woolies and buy one of the pre-paid master cards, $3 for the card minimum load $20 instant activation no ID required and online balance checking. You also get a physical Mastercard which you can use in shops as well as eBay and Paypal. Note they also sell a re-loadable one which requires ID. Very simple easy to use.
