Simon still good for EBAY PayPal? Using Simon - General problems / issues with Simon

**aspkin** · #**287** 07-30-2008

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>

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 ??

philly387 · #**291** 08-15-2008

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...

trixx831 · #**293** 08-15-2008

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 ??

philly387 · #**294** 08-15-2008

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

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

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?

Lyda · #**297** 08-27-2008

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

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..

Lyda · #**300** 08-30-2008

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?

Lyda · #**301** 08-30-2008

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...

Lyda · #**302** 08-30-2008

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?

x2ruff4u · #**304** 09-01-2008

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

freshair · #**305** 09-01-2008

then what card is working now?

aksjkas · #**306** 09-01-2008

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..

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.
