Entropay is good for ebay and Paypal
 

I have seen they are selling to international customers also. So before i signup for the new card i want to know it is good for ebay and paypal just all guys saying on simon. ;)

entropay works for me in Canada. Just created 2 ebay accounts and 1 paypal about 1 week ago. But you may have troubles if the entropay card is too fresh. no problem at all when I use my 1 week old entropay card, but got problem when using my 3 hours old entropay card.

Can you explain what you mean by 'too fresh'? Did you have trouble with ebay or paypal?
Did you have the entropay confirmed email?

that was my second entropay card. i got it activated and put $10 in it at around 8pm. then I tried to use the card to activate a new pp account at around 11pm (same day) and the verification process failed. I think the reason is the card being 'too young' because I had no problem with my first entropay card which was 1 week old when I used it. to be 100% safe, I deleted the second card and applied another one. I will make up a new billing address and try it again after at least 7 days.

Actually I have a question here,
because I have only one entropay account no matter how many card I apply, it shares a single billing address. I am wondering if it is safe to change the billing address ? my pp acount is linked to my first card, and if I change the billing address, will pp notice it? or pp just verify its billing address once? I know this wasn't a problem before but not sure with recent policy changes.

An EntroPay Account is a prepaid account through which you can make online purchases wherever VISA is accepted. You can load funds (deposit money) onto an EntroPay Virtual Card using your regular credit or debit card. yes my friend Entropay is very good for ebay and paypal

Say your credit card has been banned by paypal already.

So you use it to start an Entropay account but is there any point? Your name will be on the CC, hence on the Entropay (as you need passport/SS etc too..) Then you need to have a bank account with the same name too.:confused:

How would one get around this? The only way is to ask other people to get the entropay card? There's no real difference in getting them to use their card to sign up a Paypal acc or am I missing something?

Disclaimer 2am.. been up since 9.30 and on computer all day after wife told me that our ebay accounts had been suspended reassuring customers their items are on the way.

Also when paypal wants to verify the card, don't they send a 4 digit number and bill like $2.95 or something?

Where would one find this number if not receiving bank statements in the post.

Thanks

If you use "search" on this forum you will find tons of info on this literally.

After you create the entropay acct you may create a virtual CC with different info. And of course, since all these are done online, you will get the info of the paypal # from your entropay acct.

Thanks a lot :)

Sounds pretty sweet then.

I made entropay account but used the wrong bank card (this one can't be used online).

So, I added a second and got this reply:

Action Not Allowed

Your account is not currently set up to allow this function.


Anyone had a similar experience?

I ask one question to entropay team



So that's mean it will be now showing 4 digit code. I will check this soon. :)

YEAH i got my 4 digit code from entropay statement within 2 days. If you haven't seen your code within 2 days contact entropay helpdesk they will provide the code. :)

Yea im going to use this for purchasing items off Ebay

If you use an USA IP address, entropay will not allow you to use their services, sorry.

So we could potentially acquire one by having someone else who is not in the US to sign us up for one?

And would the account still be accepted with a US address?

If so, please PM me as I'm needing someone to do that.

Entropay is a good solution, there is no annual or monthly fees, good if you dont use ebay alot, as theres a 5% loading fee, thats it

freak, Has the loading fee increased?;)

Anybody used entropay in Canada lately?
I tried it few days ago and the card was rejected

I used up around 4 entropay cards over 2 pp accounts just now- all of them rejected.

2 of the entropay cards had been sitting for 3 weeks - even had the the billing address changed to match the stealth details on the pp account - no joy :-(

PS I used secondary VCC's i.e. I went to "create a new card" and made a few new VCC's from my original VCC

Not sure if this makes a difference?

Maybe it only works when you use the original VCC number nad not the spawned VCC numbers?

Anyone ever used a spawned VCC sucessfully on paypal?

We are cross-posting info here. It is likely that you are not loading enough funds on the
card. Where £1.10 used to work, it does not work anymore. Read my reply in the UK section where I recommend loading with £10.00

entropay is still work with USA paypal account ???

not for US

Interesting !
 

When I reached my 400 Euros Limit - didn't ever know that there is such a limit on one of my Entropay VCC The Card Balance went different from the Available to Spend Balance and I found out this "The Available To Spend amount is the amount that you can spend now without reloading your card.

Sometimes it will differ from the Card Balance.

This is because when you make a purchase, the merchant places an authorisation on your card to 'reserve' the required amount, which is then 'settled' (transferred) across the banking network shortly afterwards (usually within 7 days).

Your Available To Spend amount takes into account merchant authorisations; your Card Balance does not, and is only updated when transactions are settled.

Note: Occasionally your Available To Spend amount will show as 'N/A'. This usually means that the banking communications network is very busy and you should try again in a few minutes.


Did someone know when am I gonna have access to the other part of my money ! I have like 48 Euros right now in my Card Balance but I can't have access to them to spend it ! Thank You !

Best suggeston as it is too hard to say when the balance of the funds would be available is
sign into entropay and send them a help ticket outlining your problem. Response time is usually quick.

I still don't understand the "available to spend" and card balance on entropay.

Mine always fluctuated, even when I wasn't buying anything. Weeks down the line after no purchase, the available to spend would be at zero, when I still had like, £8 in there. Wierd.

how do i use entropay?
 

do i give entropay my real name and address?
totally confused!!

you sign up with real details and real card loads it, then you can change address option.

I am finding if you keep at least £3 on it you are ok, and let mature address for 3 days.

entropay is now working fine, after a few probs for many of us, was showing as an unsupported card on error messages for ebay, I can confirm I have tested this and it is no longer happening ( for now).
Its great for Paypal still too.

thanks
 

thats great, thanks

does anyone know how long it takes entropay to send activation code?
set it up days ago, and still havent received it........so cant get on with things

^^^ have you contacted entropay to see what is happening? Several days is a long time. Sign into your entropay account. Check if you have messages from them. Sometimes there are messages there instead of an email. Of late, entropay have asked new clients to supply a copy of ID & what the card will be used for: if there is nothing, send a message to check the situation. Let the forum know the outcome.

thanks greenbean, just got activated!!
there was a typo with my email addy.......cheers

sorry for being a pain........but do i also need a new bank account?

You will need a new bank account,yes. It must never have been associated with a suspended account AND it must have the Direct Debit mandate. Current accounts work, savers do not.
