Netspend
 

i got a question anyone try using netspend https://www.netspend.com/account/index.m

if you do . do you put your real informations?
iam trying to apply these informations to my unverify paypal account.

would it work and would paypal find out if i fill in the informations from newspend?

I use it on an account..I like it..cause I had problems passing ChexSystems and Netspend doesn't use ChexSystems or Credit Checks...as far as the info Paypal wont see it...your safe...ALWAYS sign up for this or any other bank account with your REAL info..one fallback is they charge fees for transactions so I only do the ATM withdraw (after I reach a good amount)...takes about a week to get your card in the mail, but you get your account number within a day or so and you can add it to Paypal..Paypal withdraws usually show up under 24hrs...atleast on mine they do..

I never tried it for Paypal, but I'm sure it'll work. It worked fine for my eBay accounts though. Use your real info when buying and your eBay info when adding to your account.

so you mean i can use netspend with my real name and address and bank infos, add that to my paypal (the ⊗⊗⊗⊗ name and address) and still get it to verify beause paypal only takes number not name/address?

if this is so, i can just apply for any bank, and get the informations and add that to my ⊗⊗⊗⊗ paypal and still get it to verify ? correct?

Correct, If your doing this for a bank account I would reccomend just going to a local bank and opening an account (with your REAL info)...Netspend is good if your having problems passing ChexSystems..

Be careful about using Netspend to withdraw PP funds. Netspend actually matches the names on both accounts. I withdrawed to a Netspend account a while back from a PP account with made up info and Netspend froze my account unless I add the ⊗⊗⊗⊗ person as an authorized user by faxing in the SS card or another form of ID. Oh well, lesson learned.

Then I used another Netspend account to receive affiliate payments. Things were fine for a few months, until I changed the entity from personal to business. Another frozen account, but at least this time they sent back the money and I was told not to do it again and they unblocked my account.

So, moral of the story, names must match if you're thinking of using Netspend for your PP withdraw. You're allowed to add a secondary user by ordering a 2nd card for the same account. And to their credit, they do have everything spelled out in their T&S. Since my scamming days are long past, I'm sticking with my bank accounts.

Lizardking,

you stated that they issued you with an account number before you received your card in the post, if this correct?

Therefore once you receive your account number can it be used immediately?

Can anyone kindly rectify this? Dont you need to authenticate yourself in anyway, such as by enterting a code when you receive the pack though the post?

You see I just need to use this to verify my account.
