Ahh okay I am in Europe. I did have an account n0w and gr33ndot before. Alright I'll look for another way to withdraw funds. I was thinking of sending it from one account to another but by buying something from myself off ebay. Then sending in the package with tracking so it looks good etc.

Re: Vanilla gift card can't be recognized by Paypal
 

You mention needing to add a Zip Code to the paypal Vanilla card. Can I pick any zip code in the US or does it have to match my other information?

Also, is this the MyVanilla or OneVanilla card? I can't quite tell the difference between the two at the store.

Re: Vanilla gift card can't be recognized by Paypal
 

You have to put the same zipcode as your stealth.

Stick to the Vanilla Visa's that say "GIFT CARD" when it doubt. Also read the back, if the card requires your "SSN" then don't get that one.

Nice visuals MM78 :thumb:

Re: Vanilla gift card can't be recognized by Paypal
 

I can confirm the Vanilla Gift cards work. Just verified my PP with one that I bought from 7-11.

Just follow these steps:

1. Go to 7-11 or any convenience or large grocer store chain
2. Find the Vanilla GIFT cards MM78 shows pictured above
3. Buy one, all you need to do is register the zip code on the vanilla site
4. Add to paypal, within a day or two you'll see the charge then verify.

Done!

Just to add for you GWW - you dont need SSN to buy the credit card (does not work like a bank however)

Just used one today to create one. Worked Great =]

Re: Vanilla gift card can't be recognized by Paypal
 

I here about vanilla and paypal a lot but nothing about ebay and vanilla. Does anybody know? I already have an account but my old gift card that I registered with is about to expire and I heard it rejects gift cards to have on file as a seller back up. Does the vanilla work or not? Will I have to buy a US vcc then?

Re: Vanilla gift card can't be recognized by Paypal
 

Ebay doesn't require a Card anymore....Only Paypal.

Re: Vanilla gift card can't be recognized by Paypal
 

Hello,
I was able to use a vanilla gift card today without having to add the zipcode, to the card.
have 25 dollars on the card but don't plan on using it as my main payment method. Will be using my secondary bank account for that.

Re: Vanilla gift card can't be recognized by Paypal
 

I have a problem. So I mentioned above I used the vanilla gift card to register, and it worked. It lifted my limits.

The problem is, I cant do instant transfers from bank. If my paypal balance is $0 and I need to send a payment or purchase something, it charges my vanilla GC or tries to do an echeck .

Just a note to anyone else who tries this.

Re: Vanilla gift card can't be recognized by Paypal
 

why do people use vanilla gift? i use vanilla prepaid

Re: Vanilla gift card can't be recognized by Paypal
 

Because that's what's recommended and easiest to use.

Re: Vanilla gift card can't be recognized by Paypal
 

what is the solution? i believe when you transfer from bank you have the option to transfer from the actual stealth bank acct vs the card?

Re: Vanilla gift card can't be recognized by Paypal
 

The only solution is to add a debit or credit card under my stealth name apparently....

These cards apparently (at least for me) are used for lifting the limits if any, but if you want to do instant transfers you have to use real cards.

Re: Vanilla gift card can't be recognized by Paypal
 

Make sure you register the card online to the zip code that is used.


Merchants match

CC number
date code
zip code(you supply that to site)
and 3 digit security code.

Names and street address are not matched.

OMG you just saved my life, just bought a 100 dollar visa, didnt work on Paypal, or anything and omg you saved me so much even though this is from 3 years ago and you wont see this. 09/19 WORKS!!!!

Re: Vanilla gift card can't be recognized by Paypal
 

Just curious, why get a $100 Gift Card? Seems extremely high....all you need is a $20 card.

Re: Vanilla gift card can't be recognized by Paypal
 

Right ?

who can confirm?

Re: Vanilla gift card can't be recognized by Paypal
 

Confirm what? Just so you know, your image above is incorrect. Gift Cards DO NOT require SSN...that's wrong. "PREPAID" cards require SSN, such as the following:
