how to pay?
 

How do you pay your eBay fees without paypal/bank

Would using Vanilla Gift Card each month (NOT pre-load) raise any flags?

Re: how to pay?
 

I've used a gift card to pay overdue fees a handful of times, so I can say for sure it won't raise any red flags as a one-time thing but I can't say for sure if paying that way regularly would raise any concerns.

Why are you not able to use your Paypal account? I pay my fees daily before withdrawing money so my due fees don't get high.

I never use PP to pay my eb fees - always with a VCC or gift card in ADVANCE of payment due date.

It has not caused issues for me in YEARS. It doesn't raise flags as long as you pay your fees :)

Sounds like a massive pain in the @$$ honestly...

I have used VCCs now and then when my PayPal balance is a bit short.

It is OK to use the PayPal balance though so long as you have enough to cover the fees.

Not so much a pain when you're used to it. But as James said, if your pp can cover the fees and money is FREE and CLEAR, it will work.

I just happen to like using the cc in advance - easy-peasy

have bought a vanilla gift card (shows visa on it) - red packaging/silver ribbon
and assigned a zip code via vanillagift.com

and when doing one-time payment eBay declined the card? in the US

checked the card and it shows $1.00 from eBay, INC (2 since i've tried card twice)

Re: how to pay?
 

Did you assign the proper zip code? The one that matches your account?

Sounds like you're failing AVS. That's why I ask. Is Ebay keeping your $1?

Re: how to pay?
 

Ah! I thought using a Pre-paid card won't work with eBay. I guess it won't work while trying to buy something off ebay though. Right?

I usually pay using Paypal balance. Never had any problems really.

As long as funds are free and clear then.
