It'd probably be best to contact them to find out how to obtain a card.

This card will only be in your real name, so you will not be able to use it with "stealth" accounts.

Well the name on the card has absolutely nothing to do with what name you use on ebay or paypal. They don't check names, its all about numbers... ie act#, avs#, zip code. I've used many different cards with all types of names that were in no way close to the account holder names with no problems. Only time you got an issue is if your trying to pull some fraud and we wouldn't be doing that right?

I know I am a newbie and I am going to ask the daftest thing that may have already been discussed in one of these 500 threads, by I have read these posts for hours now and cannot exactly find if someone can confirm that I can join up a brand new paypal account and link it to an debit card/bank account in someone elses name (brand new bank accounts ofcourse). Gees I wish they had threads for Aussies. Us Aussie ebayers are in the same situation but the cards options are not available here. Fortunately I set myself up in the USA 3 years ago and have s/s etc so this might come in handy. Take me a week to get my funds, but hey its better than nothing! SO.... do alarm bells go off if you try and link the paypal to a debit card not in the account holders name?

thanks in advance

Ok I have just seen gurusgrafx comment! thanks........just means I have to open up a paypal usa account so they don't cotten on.......

How long does it take to get funds from paypal to the card?Will be using for stealth account.

i just activated my card and set it up as a bank account for a new stealth account. on the "how to add money with paypal" screen, at the bottom it says "transfers MUST match cardholders name" or whatever. anyone know if this is true or false?

why dont you just make a paypal with some alterations of your name (not too far off), you should be fine.

As for your question, gurugrafx answered it above saying s/he had no problems..

i already had the account made under a stealth name before i added the card/bank account. also the post that my question was answered in is over a year old, i'm just wondering if anyone has any recent experience to see if there are any issues with the names not matching.

would recommend account now to anyone. check them out, they still work with paypal just fine.

same here those (visa and mc) were the first two cards i used to get back on ebay/paypal with.
