First off, eBay doesn't look at the first IP address established as the only IP address. Every time you login, your IP address is checked against other users. If eBay has a match to a suspended user, you will be suspended as well. So not being able to change your laptop IP address and using it anyway will only get you suspended.

And as long as you don't link your eBay and Paypal accounts, you can use any address you want with your Paypal account, if that's what you mean.

Aspkin remeber Ebay will not suspend you based alone on Ip address. They will take a closer look at emails, addresses, auction listings, pictures, etc...

If the IP was the only case then everyone would be getting suspended left and right

I bought a gift card with ⊗⊗⊗⊗ info, but I also put a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ phone number, which I apparently need to activate the card. do i need to call from that phone? if so, how do i go about getting a refund for this giftcard, or am i screwed?! Please help, thx

You should probably trust Simon with your giftcard needs. There is no need to give them a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ number, especially since sometimes they need to contact you for verification. You can call them though with your details.

Okay I have a concern. I just tried to update my ebay account to a sellers account and my prepaid credit card would not work. I contacted ebay live and was told they do not work and I would need to get a real credit card that can be verified in order to open a sellers account. What gives?????

[alextrainer]

Before I knew that I should have gotten Verified by Visa or Mastercard secure before buying a simon gift account, I attempted a gift card purchase with all 4 of my cards. None worked and now they are blocked. Even after I did Visa Verified and gave the password, it didn't process. I called their tech support who claim the info I am typing in - name and phone doesn't match the credit card company - but the credit card company confirmed that the information is correct and nothing has been refused by them - so it is a Simon issue.

Next, I bought a prepaid VISA from my bank in my name to use but it won't allow Verified by VISA nor will Simon accept it.

The Simon mall in Puerto Rico doesn't issue gift cards or accounts.

I need the card and need the secret to getting the gift account. I have 2 AMEX card but Simon doesn't accept.

I am being working on this for over a week trying to get a new Ebay account!

HELP!

[aspkin]

Why not clear you cookies, and change you IP and sign up for a new simon account, and then try purchasing again with your Visa card.

Here is how

Go to Visa Gift Cards & Corporate Reward Cards

https://www.giftcards.com/account/signup.html doesn't allow Puerto Rico residents to purchase.

i went to the library - different IP - tried the cards and it didnt work

[musicman]

[alextrainer]

...and cannot find a card - no safeway or other major chains in san juan

can someone buy a card tomorrow if i pay via paypal? i would need the card # and be able to register it with a fictious name and address online so i can use it to open a ebay account. anybody who can help me - email me privately.

Yes, you can get one for anyone, for example:

Howdy Doody
123 Elm St

Any name and address.

is it a virtual card?

[georgesmith]

It can be virtual or physical. You can even change it to physical after having it as virtual.

Giftaccount = virtual
gift card = physical

[LongMan]

So should you make the card details the same as the ⊗⊗⊗⊗ eBay details?

[georgesmith]

eBay isn't going to accept a credit card that doesn't match th eBay, probably no website would. That pretty much throws up fraud alarms.

[JackNoMore]

How then would you be able to verify that account with the virtual card on paypal if it has to match the ebay information (name, address and all)? Then you're back to the "better hope you don't ever get limited" situation we've talked about before.

[georgesmith]

Well we don't accept paypal as payment. There are alternatives to paypal that are being widely used by eBay sellers.

[JackNoMore]

Unfortunately, not that will allow international trade though. If I wanted to list on ebay Germany for instance, I would have to have a paypal account, linked to my ebay. Regardless of whether I would prefer to take other payments. Sure I could send them invoices, but with the link and the paypal being there already, there's a good chance that's the payment you would end up with.
