Alternatives to EntroPay Closing Down - Virtual Credit Card (VCC)

They give you 2 VCC upfront for free, after 5 every new one costs $10 and the early limit is 20 VCCs... so not really an option for me, but just wanted to list it here as well.

Oh, and they have some sort of video verification as well.

$20 for a VCC, what a rip off

It's better finding a bank that issues them for free, even if you have to go to another country to open an account.

I had no issues with gift cards yet. If you are verified you can also purchase once in a while a plastic Visa. It will cost you around 7-8 BGN. It's delivered by a courier "In time". I don't want to rise a flag so I order new plastic Visa every 4-5 weeks. Not that I need it. Just for backup as I prefer Visa.
Also www.transcard.bg is good option. Again - only Master cards but there is no limit for VCC. You can create as many as you want but you can have existings only 5. And there is a strong verification as well. You'll have to receive it at the post office with your ID card.

The vcc’s you can create in iCard work well for confirming PP

interesting fact from the 20 you can create once verified, you can chose to create a MasterCard or visa

When you add a created MasterCard vcc it shows as a prepaid card on PP

When you add a created visa vcc it shows as a debit which I feel makes for a stronger card and so stronger pp account

When making a gift card vcc there is no option to pick between MasterCard and visa, it is MasterCard by default

These also work well, but can only be sent to another iCard account which also has to be verified otherwise you can’t see the full card details

I have a friend who also stealth’s so we have just been sending each other gift cards

It costs £1 to create a vcc gift card and the minimum load is £1

Eg. if your Revolut address is

123 London Road,

Sussex
KT9 8JS

You may use any letters in the address as long as the digits are the same. So for PayPal you can add:

123 Liverpool Road,
Fairfield,
Liverpool,
LP9 8HA

The 123 from door number are same, and so are 9 and 8 from post code.

Have added today and verified successfully, listed the first item no problems.

That makes sense. Card machines only ask for numbers from the post code and first line of the address to verify a card.

Thank you! does those vcc gift card have limit of how much you can create per account?

Does you know where i could get free or very cheap VCCs?
They don't have to work with PayPal or anything.
Cheapest I've seen is Ecopayz @£1.50

The problem with iCard is that it requires Video Chat in order to get your account verified and you can have max 20 VCCs. Not 20 active at a given time, but max 20 in total, which sux, since you can't easily create new accounts...

Still in a process of searching for a good alternative...

worked fine

Why not get and test it out?

well i registered for revolut and although it is so easy to get cards, it seems im being banned almost right away on ebay.
im going to use another VCC soon, there is something the automated system clearly doesnt like.

Its always the same..

create the account > restricted.
phone ebay > Reinstated.
never ending loop, now same with all my 7 accounts i created.
Something is there that ebay don't like with this type of card.

Happened with supermarket VCC's for me as well.

3 accounts banned. All three re-instated after chat. Then 2 banned again, 1 still alive.

DID EXACTLY THE SAME THING ON ALL THREE ACCOUNTS. Nothing different !

We can all speculate as to why certain things happen but only they know.

ive recently registed with ecopayz.com

Are they different from revolut, meaning can paypal see the real address? or can it be f@ke when verifying wit ebay?

All I want to know if Revolut accepts mismatch names and addresses when linking the VCC to PayPal.

Mismatch names are okay.
Addresses are not. But you can change the address anytime in your Revolut app.
