If simon doesn't work, just go to a local store and buy a prepaid card there. All the stores I know have cards that work just like a credit card and can be used online.

Do you know what kind of prepaid cards could make a confirm Paypal address ?

Like "Confirmed Address", so I could request for Debit Card.

Please give some advices !

I signed up for one this morning and it didn't hit until sometime in the last hour or so. It'll come, I'll loan you some Xanax till then....<grin>

When purchasing a simon
 

I use my real info as the purchaser..

However, as for the recipient, should I use a real name/address or name/address ??

Does it matter ??

you need to use the name/address for recipient.

HI Trixx:
You are purchasing the Simon card for your ebay acct, or Paypal acct, I assume?
So-the recepient should be that name...

Yes, that is correct..

I've never done this before, and it all seems a bit confusing..

When I purchase the Simon card and use the email version, is there a particular email address I should send to ? (for example: the email address I will use on file with ebay) and since my information as the sender is legit, should the information I use to send the card to (recipient) be the alias name that I use to setup my account with on ebay ??

just use any email address you use. also, you are correct. The information you use to send the card to needs to be the name/address that you used to setup the ebay/pp accounts

Simon Gift Cards
 

Can you still use simon cards with ebay. I just tried today and it said that tghe cardholder is not accepted by ebay.

Getting error message
 

I am getting error message also and can't purchase Simon account. I want it to lift PayPal $500 a month limit. I already have checking account and related debit card verified, but they want another cc # so they lift this limit. I wonder if Ebay/PP read this posts and than simply ban things that work for us?

Simons cards still OK or not?
 

I keep reading that Simons accounts are not accepted by Ebay/PayPal any more? Anyone can verify that? If so, what is the best replacement? Thanks.

Theres a card called Vanilla that is a prepaid visa, those still might work. There was another prepaid visa that was at Phoenix AZ malls. I cant remember the name. Let me do some research. Anyways, When simon cards were getting slammed as suspicious I turned to these on a vacation and it worked wonderfully.

Hold on

Its called westcor now. It was something else before. But I remember the slogan from the original. Those should work

Scottsdale Fashion Square | Gift Card

I really liked the idea of gift accounts as opposed to having a peace of plastic mailed to me. Appears that only Simon had those virtual instant gift accounts..

I finally got Simons gift account, but when tried to use it to lift the 500.00 limit, it tells me it can issue a 4 digit number with this card? Anyone has this problem?

It CAN NOT issue a 4 digit numer.. What am I supposed to do? They ask me to add another cc or social? What am I supposed to do if Simons gift account does not work with PP to lift 55.00 limit? Anyone, please advise! Thanks in advance...

Modee to the rescue .... will look into it tonight. Thanks.

simon.com is very slow today. I suppose a lot of suspended users are buying card there?
When I register on simon.com, do I need fill in my REAL info?

Simon Giftcards Do Not Work With Pp No More. I Repeat They Do Not Work No More. I Have Verified This 3 Times Now. Do Not Waste Your Time. Thank You

then what card is working now?

just tried to register an ebay account with the same number that worked before. ebay said it was not an allowed brand.

Hello:
I personally have not used Simon in about 3 weeks, so I cannot comment Intelligently, but last month-Simon WAS working.
Other methods I do use, that I can Confirm working as of TODAy:
--- All Access Gift Cards--available at Wawa Gas Stations, 7-11 Stations, Most Grocery Store Chains, The Vanilla MASTERCARDS, which I have purchased at Kroger Grocery Stores
I also use Gift2go (dot) net, which I get at Walgreens, they are Yellow, starting price $30.
I also use OneGreatGiftCard (dot) com, which i get at the Local Shopping mall--they start at only $20, with a $3.95 fee.
--As for Ebay FEES--Besides the gift cards--what I do--is generate the Ebay Payment sheet-whihc has an ebay account number--then I estimate what it will be for the month-and i send a cashiers check..

Simon Cards - Update
 

Yesterday I went to a Simon Mall and purchased 3 cards at 2.00 each. I registered them on Simon site and they AVS verified just fine on PP and I was able to activate the PP Plugin.

Still no problems or PP blocks.
