simon gift cards did not work
 

I was suspended.
opened a new wamu checking account
got simon gift card
new ip address
cleaned cookies
new virtual address
new virtual phone #
verified with paypal. I submitted simon card for cc and they tell me address does not match up.
what to do now?
if I ask wamu, will they switch my address to my virtual address?
please help
thanks

Go to simon.com access the card info and register the card for online purchases with the address you wish to use for ebay and paypal.

It will then work.

simon card
 

sounds great! thanks so much. Must I then make (non ebay) purchase in order for this (virtual) address to stick??

No purchase is needed.

You only need to register the card at simon.com once registered which is immediate you can use the new registered address for opening a paypal or ebay account

Simon and AVS ?
 

Hi,
I need to add a new CC to a paypal account, for AVS purposes.
The account is registered in the US, I'm in the UK.
I had planned to order a simon giftaccount, register it under
the pp address, and add it to the account.
But, having never used simon.com before, I didn't know I had
to be in the US to purchase the giftaccount.
So, my question, can I just use ⊗⊗⊗⊗ details and another VCC#
to buy the simon giftaccount, or will they verify the purchasers
address ?
I'm thinking they probably do, so anyone have another suggestion ? :D

Simon Gift Card
 

1) Do I go for the GiftAccount or the GiftCard?

2) Does it matter what phone number i put to be activated, should i put my own???

3) can i also use this for an amazon seller account?

1) giftaccount

2) Yes, you need a real working number. They verify orders for first time buyers.

3) Sure, why not.

Yeah, simon won't work for you.

Try Entropay instead.

Hi Aspkin,
Thanks for the reply. :)
I already used entropay on the account, initially it worked and
the account was verified.
Then paypal suspended it, after receiving two ($50ish) payments.
So, I've completed all the steps necessary to lift the suspension,
except the 'Confirm your location' step.
I tried adding another entropay card, but it says they are unable
to confirm the address details.
That's why I thought simon may work, as the giftaccount would
be registered under the false address, whereas the entropay card
doesn't have any address details at all.

Do you need to carry a balance on the Simon cards?

Do they expire?

Do you actually use them or are they for account activation purposes only and then your done with them?

You need a few bucks to verify for like eBay and PP

Yes they expire, on the expiration date, like any other Visa

You can use them to buy stuff on the net that takes Visa...or you can leave a balance on them cause ebay will charge it for fees...after I verify my EB and PP I use the balance to buy another card...if you start with a balance of $35 you can get like 5 cards out of it

Also I usually start

When it expires, do you have to get another one and change the info in your PP acct?

hi lizardking. I was interested in your previous post. How can I make one $35 card turn into five? I don't see how buying more would work? Thanks.

No need for response. I did the math and figured it out. I bought one fifty dollar gift card and from it according to my math I will be able to make 8 gift cards for verifying with paypal.

Are you guys factoring in the $1.95 charge and the eBay charge?

Why do people buy Simon giftaccounts?
 

Why? If you go the the mall they cost $2 (physical cards). The same as the gift account, but with the physical card, you can use any remaining balance for something like gas...with the gift account, if you have like $4 left its pretty much a loss unless you want to buy some quick feebay junk.

b/c when you sit in a comfy chair and you need to pay ebay fees INSTANTLY , online solution is the only help. another reason would be that simon giftcards are available physically only for US citizens...

simon card question
 

so, say my new ebay/pp acct is Joe Blow. I order a simon card for Joe Blow with the correct ebay/pp address and all that, BUT I pay for it with my real name and credit card, (which was suspended by ebay).

will ebay or pp recognize that? or even see that?

or will all they see is the card holder name which is Joe Blow.

tia

Nope, you'll be fine.

thanx pal.

sooner or later I hope my questions will end for yall. :-|

i may just stick with a handful of the yellow gift2go cards from walgreens.
(then register each of them with the new ebay/pp account information.

Simon Gift Acct not being accepted
 

Open the simon gift account today, Used it on ebay for verify and the message came up as unaccepted brand of CC.. I thought Simon was safe for ebay verify..Help!!!
Thanks

"Unaccepted brand of CC", that's new.

Keep trying, sometimes the first try it doesn't work. Use different names and addresses and try again.

Problem To Order Card
 

I am not sure if it is just me.. or someone else is having the same problem?
I tried to purchase the gift accounts but have this error message. I had tried for 2 days and having the same thing. Let me know if you are seeing the same problem here. I had tried using different accounts and credit cards but without success.

Thanks,

Are you using a verified by Visa credit card? If not try it if you have one.

Aspkin, thanks for the response.
I had tried few times again using Mastercard (I don't have a Visa card with me yesterday). After few trials and errors, I realized that i have to choose a different giftaccount pattern - where you choose different picture for the giftcard. Only the 2nd one will work and I can order the cards without problem. I will try to use Visa Card today and see if the problem goes away. Thanks again.

I used simon when I registered a new ebay account yesterday.

HI: I dont htink wamu will change your addy to a virtual??

IS that the question>? With the Patriot act--they cannot..

Simon Giftcard
 

Hello, I was wondering if I should use my real information signing up for a simon gift account or should it should match the name and address I intend to use with a new ebay/paypal account. Also, do Simon cards still work, I have heared that some people where having problem with them and getting the "this card type not supported" error message. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You must use your real information when buying a Simon card. They verify.

And yes they work, you may need a verified by Visa card to buy.

Thanks Aspkin for your help. The Simon Cards are my new little friends. :D

I have question. I tried to make order so many times. But they say error message below. I ahve no way to order it. Please help. Thanks !

Are you using a verified by Visa credit card?

And are you using firefox?

Yes. I am using Firefox. I used Mastercard. I don't have Visa.

That could be the problem, I've always only used a Verified by visa credit card, my other cards won't work. You may want to look for another virtual cc.

ok. Thanks. I will try other methods !

I tried using simon on ebay today and it would not let me. It says that the card issuer is no longer available to use on ebay or something like that. But PayPal did accept simon. I have had my account suspended/blocked on ebay and i purchased the stealth book and am working on getting a new one running. I am just waiting on the routing number and account number and I will be up and running. I thank you for the book! It was awesome and I hope it all works. The last step is confirming my new bank account on PayPal with my ⊗⊗⊗⊗ info. I hope it works!

just add the paypal account to eBay and your done, you don't need cc on ebay to sell just paypal verified.
