lunamoon · #23 02-14-2008

i used vanila gift card on ebay in Jan, is didn't work though..

rond100 · #24 02-14-2008

i don't recall the message. I know it worked in Nov but not Jan . I know ebayhateluv mentioned sometimes they work in some zipcodes and not others. I can neither prove or deny this info though.

i tried the Vanilla Master card and it worked...so Chris the Visa worked for you on eGay?

ebayhateluv · #26 02-14-2008

HI- Heres where "I think" the confusion is coming in...

a.) Ebay is now verifying even some new buyers via credit card
b.) Vanilla never worked for me after January for Paypal
c.) it DID work for ebay
d.) Now, after 2/5- it does NOT work for ebay either (for me), tried at various libraries
e.) I believe that Paypal is now doing the online verification for Ebay, as well

So- theres really 1 program verifying the Card info/ and for some reason, they do not like the Vanilla "VISA" at this point (for me anyhow)...

I've been reading up, and it really looks like Vanilla are no good anymore on eBay when it comes to paying seller fees.

I just bought two for 100$ each (before I found this out). Does anyone know of another way that I can ultimately use these?

What other virtual cards are available besides entropay? I've been trying to create an account, but no luck. I keep getting an error messege.

Anyone's help would be appreciated. I have a ton of crap to sell, and I need it up by Friday morning. Thanks!

Your location real or imagined? There has been mentioned that certain zip codes of accounts cause card to be declined. Maybe that's the reason?

Use the vanilla visa's to buy a simon virtual gift card. You instantly have a credit card number! I think it's a $20 minimum + $2 fee. Since it's virtual you can register it to ANY address...real or imagined!

i did the same exact thing as the original poster.
i just tried to turn my vanilla visa into a simon virtual card
and they wanted billing info for the visa.

is there any way around that or am i S O L?

You won't be able to buy the Simon Gift Account with the Vanilla Visa card. the Vanilla Visa Card cannot be registered with an address, which means that it won't pass the AVS check. Your best bet is to go into a Simon-owned mall and buy the Simon Visa Gift Card in person or just spend the $100 offline.

Are you trying to register a seller account with the Vanilla card or pay your seller fees with it? Registration requires the AVS, but eBay will take your money however it comes.

Within the last 2-weeks, I have used Visa/Vanilla & Amex Gift Card...both just $25.00 and was able to use for seller's fees on 2 new Ebay accounts. One I had to use to register with and 2nd account, (for whatever reason) they didn't ask cc to register.

Dont buy the 100.00 Vanilla visa they dont work. Buy the 25.00 for some reason they work great.It has something to do with the company that makes them.

TotallyDisgusted · #34 03-22-2008

Thank's for info. snfullystylish, good to know. Intend on purchasing a few of those vanilla cards.

Will Vanilla Prepaid cards work atm with paypal in CANADA?

Also, will Paypal accept entropay numbers?

kitter · #36 03-27-2008

How does one Load money from a Vanilla MasterCard onto a entropay account?

Also, which card number do i use, as they gave like 5 numbers when I bought the card. (Is it the number on the card?)

MOONCRICKET · #37 07-01-2008

Can anyone else confirm that the $25 vanilla visa cards work?

tsboss1 · #38 07-03-2008

I purchase a vanilla visa gift card at a nearby CVS Pharmacy store, however it doesn't have any address/name info. Just bought it right off the counter. I asked the cashier how would i enter the address info/name, she just looked me funny not knowing what the hell im talking about.

When i tried to add the card on my paypal account, it said it didn't recognize the verification CVC number (the 3 digit number at the back).

Here is the website for the giftcard i bought: www.vanillavisa.com

alright cool it works... it took a couple of tries but it went through. But ebay is being stubborn with the visa card right now.

silkcru2438 · #42 11-16-2008

^^ Paypal just accepted my vanilla visa, however it took 3-4 trys until it accepted the card. My only problem is ebay, im trying to use this to pay my seller fees but it wont take them.

Burning · #43 12-24-2008

Hello,
I just wanted to ask if the vanilla MasterCard will work on my paypal account, some people have reported it as not working but some people says it works 100%. I am not sure which prepaid master card or visa to get in Canada. Any help will be appreciated.

Burning · #44 12-24-2008

Also here is the website: vanillamastercard.com

They sell these at our local gas station and local drug store.
