over the counter prepaid card/voucher.

[bokkie]

Hi all.
I'm just about to purchase a paypal account from this forum which I want to use to make anonymous payments only.
Which over the counter card/voucher in the u.k. can I use to add and make payments with?
Do I go to a paypoint and get a 3v voucher or do I need a prepaid card?
Thanks all

While you should wait for other UK folx to reply, I have heard and seen proof of good things with 3v voucher.

Are those the ones you get from paypoint? Can they be to any value?

In the ebay Stealth Book it says you can give pre paid cards any name and address is this true?

I've bought 3V vouchers and used. Here's a couple of points:

The minimum voucher is £20. You need to pay £22 for it. You can buy it from any local shop that has a Paypoint. Use this to find your nearest: Store Locator | PayPoint

You get an activation code. Enter it on the site (https://www.3vprepaid.com/). It will then ask for your details.

You can use ANY name and address. Just make sure it's the details you have supplied to eBay/Paypal.

Done. You'll be shown your VISA number on screen. The CVV and expiration date is emailed to you. You'll have £19 (Paypal temporarily freeze £1) to play with on the card too. So all in all, it'll only cost you £3.
