Thanks for the replies, guys. Any particular brands that work best? You can PM me if you don't want to publicly post specifics. Just saying :)

I have found that the mygiftcardsite.com cards that they sell in krogers stopped working for me about a year and a half ago. Before they stopped working or being recognized (For whatever reason) they just don't accept them anymore. I even waited until I could get some of their cards with the numbers being totally different, along with a different expiration date. Still no luck.

I also had a different brand that were working great for some time... and then about 6 months ago they stopped working as well and are now doing the same thing as the mygiftcardsite.com gift cards. They don't even recognize them as valid cards anymore, even though the cards are active and have sufficient funds.

Since when? Vanilla Visa Gift Cards work just fine, No SSN required.....not sure why people choose to make it difficult.

Hello guys,
Can anyone confirm if vanilla MC purchased from canadian walmart can still be used for ebay/paypal verification? Specifically, with new ebay accnt, in order to start selling? Or, is there are other cc solutions for canadian eb? Any one can answer this question?
Thanks!

Thanks for the quick response. As far as I now, rbc gift cc is no longer available :( Get to used it in the past, but not now. Last time at the local branch I was told that rbc is discontinued with these cards.
Any other solutions?
Thanks!

I can confirm the vanilla card is troublesome on PayPal. In the U.K. The Tesco visa gift cards work the best out if the three supermarkets I have visited.

You purchase the gift card at a Walgreens and register the zip online. You can't load it from PayPal unless you upgrade it to a MyVanilla card and that requires your info. It's used to open the eBay & PayPal account. Withdrawals are made to Bank/Credit Union account.

You are confusing "Verify" and "Confirm".

A VCC \ Gift Card "Confirms" your PayPal. A VBA\Bank Verifies the PayPal. I don't really understand why people use Prepaids like Greendot, it's easy as using a Gift Card.
