Entropay question

[crazed_ebayer]

Hi ,

Will my Entropay visa card allow me to open up a full UK paypal account ?

Both a Bank account and a credit card are required on a Paypal account , so , does entropay also work as a bank account on paypal ?

[oompaloompa]

no its not a bank account its a vcc, you can add it and get expuse number and input it. You need bank as well for uk paypal, they will send penny deposits to your bank, you input those too.

Can i get a virtual bank account because i am short of one ?

You can try smile.co.uk They are good to use. Don't forget that you will need to use your own ID to open any bank account in the UK

[oompaloompa]

yes cooperative are great too

[crazed_ebayer]

Right , i have no problem with using my own ID , Paypal can't get at it anyway .

I will look into both smile & cooperative .

Thanks.

I have a Barclays Savings account that has it's own none visa card and own account number , would i be able to use this for my Paypal Bank account ?

[oompaloompa]

What is your opinion on a bank account and card that is paid for?

I've found one that is only £ 12.50 a month ,

www . CardOneBanking . com


there are loads of them out there ,ranging from about £ 10 to £ 30 a month

Would solve paypal card & bank account problems for me !

Your thoughts ??

[oompaloompa]

yes seen alot of prepaid cards that charge monthly fee, personally I wouldnt, as there are better alternatives, even a 3v voucher is better value. Id rather save my money for those mounting virtual numbers bills

[crazed_ebayer]

ok , so what is a 3 v voucher and how does it work ?

[crazed_ebayer]

So a V3 card can be used for Paypal bank account setup ?

[oompaloompa]

yes 3v can be used for paypal, Im pretty sure, but just check out their FAQ to make sure.

[crazed_ebayer]

I was going to ring 3 v and ask if i can use them to set up a fully functioning paypal account ( for both credit card and bank account vetrification ) however it is Saturday and customer service is closed ,

did anyone ever find out wether 3 v works to set up...
1: credit card verification
2: bank account verification

... Giving a fully functioning paypal account ?

Or does anyone have any alternitives ?
