VCC or Pre Paid Gift Card
 

Hi All,

I have a question to ask regarding VCC's and Pre Paid Gift Cards.

The reason for the VCC or pre paid card is so PayPal can verify your address, correct?

My stealth account is using a random address, therefore i cannot apply for a pre paid card or VCC as i will never receive the card as i have used a random address for my PayPal.

I am understanding that the VCC/Gift card and PayPal address's need to match?

Hope someone can help.

Regards,

You would just need to pop to a shop, buy one and then register it to your stealth address

Job done :)

They don't work either. They need additional registration to work.

Re: VCC or Pre Paid Gift Card
 

ohhhhh mastercard.

I thought that was a generic term for the type of card, but i see now that mastercard sell there own gift cards.

Re: VCC or Pre Paid Gift Card
 

It is a generic term for the type of card........

Go into your local supermarket (Tescos, Morrisons or ASDA) and buy a Visa or MasterCard giftcard. They are usually produced by a company called Vanilla or GoSpendIt.

Re: VCC or Pre Paid Gift Card
 

If you are struggling with this, take your phone with you to the supermarket and take a picture of what they have available and post it here. We can then tell you if they are ok to use.

Re: VCC or Pre Paid Gift Card
 

You didn't just do that. :lol:

One4All won't work. There used to be a way to use it to get a Mastercard, but that's no longer an option.

Gift card section should have cards that will have the mastercard or visa symbol. Pick those.

Onward and upward. :)

Re: VCC or Pre Paid Gift Card
 

Yeah, I noticed a few weeks back that vplus wasn't working. Wasn't sure if it was temporary or not. The site is still up though......

Re: VCC or Pre Paid Gift Card
 

Yep. Not sure why though as the one4all site explicitly states it cannot be used with vplus. I think that has been going on for months now, if i'm not mistaken.

Re: VCC or Pre Paid Gift Card
 

is this for real?
if it is so easy,go to store and buy a prepaid MC card ,register it with your stealth address to match your Paypal stealth address and it is green light all the way ?
lets say you sold something,how do you transfer the fund out out of Paypal?

Re: VCC or Pre Paid Gift Card
 

I believe you can link bank accounts to your paypal without them cross referencing the name and address? Can anyone confirm that?

:help:

Re: VCC or Pre Paid Gift Card
 

as far as I know,bank account is verifed by comparing the name of your Paypal account with your bank account name,james Galvin and Jimmy G Galvin WOULD not match.
not sure about address as some would use a PO Box with bank account and home address with Paypal?

Re: VCC or Pre Paid Gift Card
 

Name would have to match,else we would all be linking other people's bank account to our paypal account,some would link their mother's bank account if mother and daughter share the same name
