Can you upload your information (name etc...) to them. If not what $20 cards can you do this with?

You can buy vanilla mastercards at shell stations and money marts. You need to enter your ebay/paypal information on-line in the vanilla mastercard site so that the address verification will work. Mine worked on paypal.

Are Vanilla Visa's off "The List" now? I was using them a lot and having a roaring success. I would buy them at the local CVS - register the correct name and address for the eBay account that I was using them with and eBay and PAYPAL took them - no problem. Last week I bought 3 new Vanilla Visa's because eBay is linking my accounts to my original account that was suspended last Summer. Unfortunately, PAYPAL will not accept them because they say that they cannot comfirm identity. I just bought 4 new Simon Gift accounts and used my Vanilla Visa's. Here's the thing. I actually got a real human being from eBay's Trust & Safety on the phone and they said that my accounts were being linked financially. I went over all the information I gave out and the only leak in the bucket is that I sometimes used the debit cards I got with my bank accounts and they have all my real information on them. This is the only thing I can think of. I have read the guide - I KNOW THE DRILL
On the other hand, my son got his account suspended for being linked to my old account and we do not share any financial stuff. So how did they link him? He had the account for almost 6 months before they suspended him. He used his old PAYPAL account with his new eBay account and I figured that he would eventually get caught - but then they would have linked him to his old account (that got suspended because it was linked to my old account) - right? Anyway, eBay keeps linking me and I cannot figure out how. Recently they have suspended a bunch of my accounts - then re-instated them - then suspended them again. Go figure. I am sure that they are on the look out for me so I cannot make a false move.

Vanillamastercards work perfect for Canadian paypal and ebay accounts, i use them every 2 weeks to pay me seller fees. Just make sure you register the card first at vanillamastercard.com. I`m not sure about the states because i don't have any accounts there. If anybody needs vanilla mastercards for his CA account just pm me. I got a shop 3 blocks from my house that sells them.

I used one last night on ebay & paypal. no problem. registered the stealth address to the card before I used it tho. but most of the time I don't even do that.

Vanilla Visa works ok. Sometimes they get declined but keep re-trying and eventually it goes thru.

I have had terrible luck with Vanilla Visa and was told that it is because all they confirm with is the zip code and this is not enough for eBay or PAYPAL. I use Simon right now but I am worried because all my Credit Card numbers look the same. Who else is good to use now? I am in the cross-hairs of eBay right now and they are looking for me to pop up. Anything that looks fishy might get all my accounts suspended. I think that the similar Credit cards is suspicious. What do you think?

ebaykilla · #52 06-01-2009

brand new credit cards will not link you at all..i use simon 98% of the time.

Brendaleigh · #53 06-03-2009

Do you not worry that all your credit cards have close to the same number and the same expiration date?

lakeman · #54 06-03-2009

No, that is not something to worry about. Do you think you're the only one using any card you use? Simon's all start with the same 4, sometimes same 8, and there are plenty of people using them.
