Any ideas on making payment I havent thought of
 

Please anyone have a magic wand and help think of something I havent.

I asked the other day about giftcard for payment, i usually pay weekly. this month i didnt.
I went yesterday and bought a 500.00 vanilla visa gift card, i was going to pay my seller fees 500 yesterday and 500 today.
( first off, 500 was the highest i could fine, all stores needed to swipe my drivers license since it was over 200 - weird )

went to pay, i changed the amount TWICE to 500, since it declined TWICE if i have 1 more wrong attempt i cant use that card on ebay for 7 days.

i called vanilla visa, they say i have to pay the other amount first, then 500..
has anyone heard of this? ( example, if i owe 550 i would have to pay 50 then 500 on vanilla visa )

so, i was thinking - if i gave my son like 200 bucks to use his card, we have the same last name. - im not sure if i tried to change to my stealth name if it would decline.. BUT my son has same last name as me, im not sure if it would link us..

any tips you can think of?
my bill usually comes on 19th, and it usually says they will try to run payment between 21-23rd..
and i thought i could figure it out by buying gift cards

Noone can see the name of the card holder so that wont be an issue.
The AVS system will be - so make sure to use the proper address when typing in the billing address.
Why are you even bothering with gift cards though? wouldnt it be easier to just use your paypal balance?

I didnt post as much this month, so i didnt have the funds in my paypal.
so this month i have to use gift cards, i have always paid with paypal.
with school ending, paying for kids graduation, new ac, 2 teen drivers, etc
i used my paypal debit card, and kept thinking i need to list.. and life happened.
thanks for letting me know i can use my sons card. i was worried about his name being different. thanks
