Entropay usage question
 

question about entropay, if you transfer £10 to a card and use those funds, close the card down and create another and then funds get returned to you what happens to the funds ? do they get returned to your main card or as card where funds were taken is no more are funds lost for good ??

hope that's a clear question

thanks

Re: Entropay usage question
 

That is what has happened for me.

Be careful of closing down virtual cards with entropay though.

There is no real need.

Re: Entropay usage question
 

but you can only get limited cards with them, I think 10 if documents not sent in, hence the query really

Re: Entropay usage question
 

I was addressing using the card correctly.

Not making an attempt to bypass their rules for stealth.

:peace:

Re: Entropay usage question
 

isn't that rare for most people in the forum though, most use multiple accounts whether it ebay or amazon so they will always be in the game as such if something happens.

Just wondered whether funds would be lost this way

Re: Entropay usage question
 

You close a card, money goes to default card, but takes 30 days to clear. Why not transfer funds to card of choice and then close with about $1. I can wait for a month without a buck.

Entropay better than V3?

Is so which benefits

Re: Entropay usage question
 

it is cheaper and gives you 1 year rather than a 3v voucher which is 3 months. Can do it from home as well

Re: Entropay usage question
 

Will it not look strange buying multiple cards with different addresses on 1 bank account?
This is what keeps me from buying into it at the moment
Whats the minimum load required, i couldn't find this

Re: Entropay usage question
 

well I just put on £25 from a credit card

you can use a bank transfer as well

what dif addresses do you mean ? You do not enter dif addresses to entropay

Re: Entropay usage question
 

Based on what you've put here, your understanding of how Entropay works isn't quite right.

Entropay isn't a bank account.

You also sign up with your real name and address and thereafter do not change this.

Entropay cards will add to ebay / paypal in any name or address.

Re: Entropay usage question
 

Sure, thanks for the info,

I thought the purpose of entering the debit details in paypal was to verify your name/address details
How can this be with Entropay if your real details are on the card, I dont see why paypal would allow this if it doesn't link a buyer/sellers name/address?
Obviously it works and i'm missing the point, I am new just trying to understand.

Could it not possibly end with paypal catching onto this then demanding details in the long run?

Is that not the point with the v3 (adding address details same as stealth)

Re: Entropay usage question
 

You never user your bank issued card for stealth.

This is why we recomend the likes of entropay & 3v voucher.

You have a layer of protection stealth wise.

Re: Entropay usage question
 

you can add any name / address that matches your stealth account

Re: Entropay usage question
 

Sorry i missed the point, I know you need another card in a different name hence not using your own card
I got a little confused with Ebayorbust quote "You also sign up with your real name and address and thereafter do not change this"

So i pay with my debit card and put my stealth details on the entropay straight away?

What i was saying though will it not look odd paying for multiple cards on your debit card and changing many names and addresses, entropay will have your bank/details wont they

Re: Entropay usage question
 

I think you need to read the details on entropay as you don't seem to be getting it and also maybe search the forum about entropay

many queries already answered

Re: Entropay usage question
 

If that is not the pot calling the kettle black. :pound:

Your own OP showed you did not do the same thing.

Another user gave you the info off the site to help you.

Re: Entropay usage question
 

I'm in a discussion here, what is the point in taking it to another thread?

My point being you are paying with your actual debit card on multiple entropay accounts, on these accounts the details are changed to stealth yes

Will this not look odd to entropay that you keep changing names and addresses considering entropay is linked to you debit card

You havent really explaind anything id im honest.

Atleast v3 is cash paid up front and then details are changed, no trail to your actual account.

I know it works clearly but do you not get what i'm saying?

Yes im new i will need to look up but these are my questions.

Re: Entropay usage question
 

this is the neat trick with entropay. You use your real info to make the entropay account. You can use your debit card here.

You fund the account with at least £20.00. Then you create your virtual card with at least £7. You use the numbers of that card and put them onto your stealth paypal account.....

See what is good here? No need to worry about names & address.

If it is still confusing, feel free to pm me :)

Re: Entropay usage question
 

you can create a vcc for £2, you don't need as much as £7

yes greenie, live and learn and pass on

Re: Entropay usage question
 

I disagree with the amount.

I prefer £7 per card.

My choice and I have no intention of changing my mind.

Where's your contingency plan if the micro deposits cost more than £2?????

:deadhorse:

Re: Entropay usage question
 

lol, that's fine

any reason for this amount ? verification is a £1

Re: Entropay usage question
 

Microdeposit could change any day. Why take the chance?

£7 is a good amount, its not like the money is lost forever, you can just transfer it out after. Transferring £1 costs the same as transferring £7 on Entro

Re: Entropay usage question
 

That is true but just seems like such a random amount and its not like if a card cant be verified u can't add another

Re: Entropay usage question
 

Cards confirm addresses, not verify. Need to stop getting the terms mixed up.

A card failing will raise a flag somewhere. Easy solution, keep enough money on the card.

Re: Entropay usage question
 

You really are driving people nuts with your inaccuracies. About time you considered slowing down :nono:

A vcc CONFRIMS paypal.

A bank account VERIFIES paypal.


It was recommended to me years by by entropay to use US$10 min to fund virtual cards.

Therefore that's my method. I have no problems with entropay.

I understand what I am doing.

Re: Entropay usage question
 

Hi Greenie,

About to create a VCC with Entropay and have a small doubt. I think I understood what you said above. My question:

1) When you create a VCC of $10 with your Entropay account do you put the stealth name and address on that VCC inside the Entropay account ? And then start using that VCC ?

Or do you mean to say there is no need to put any name and address when you are creating the $10 VCC in Entropay. That means you directly start using the $10 VCC once you create it in Entropay and it will work with any name /address what you have on the stealth account.

Thanks.

@golfdude

You use your real ID to make your entropay account and add funds. Now I read your other thread where you are thinking of using entropay for amazon. If so, I would strongly suggest the following.

Make your entropay account ( as I said) but add US$25 funds.

Then make your virtual card to use on amazon with a balance of US$20. This is to let amazon touch your vcc if they need. All you need to do is add the numbers only to amazon. Name & address is not needed.

PM me if you have questions too.

Re: Entropay usage question
 

on a previous post you mentioned entropay was no good for amazon

Re: Entropay usage question
 

When you make a comment like that and address it to me be accruate about what you say.

In this thread below

I state about the success of entropay for amazon.

Note the date. Find me MY posts subsequent to this saying the opposite.
