What would you do in this Situation ???
 

Here is my problem: The other day I wanted to purchase something from someone online but they only accept paypal. I have two stealth accounts one is a Canadian account and one is a US account. So I went to the store to get a visa vanilla gift card (the one for online shopping) and I put the money on it. I have done this before that is why I used that card. After I purchased the card I went home and registered it with the zip code (that is all they ask for). Then I went to my US paypal account and tried to make the purchased threw it. But it would not let me do it because come to find out that if you purchased a card after March 30th then it cannot be used internationally. The person who I want to purchase from is from Canada and has a Canada account. So now I do not know what to do. I cannot use the same card with my Canada account because it is a US card and it is already linked to another paypal account. I really need to make this purchased.

So if you where in this situation what would you do?

Can't u purchase a entropay VCC and put the funds on that and link to ur US account, I'm pretty sure they can be used for international purchases

go buy a paypal moneypak at walgreens and add it to the account

Don't you need to use your ss# to add funds with moneypak making it not useable with stealth ?? Or am I wrong ? Let me know I was under the impression we couldn't use this means with stealth

I add moneypaks long ago and did not need anything but now maybe, I think vcc with balance is the way to go

I think u need ss# with money Pak now

Yea now you need a ssn# for money pak cards. Does entropay cards still work good with paypal? My stealth is not verified but the amount I am sending is about 100$.

@youngd, Entropay still works for US pp

entropay is OK for USA now.

If you make an entropay account, their admin sometimes do ask for ID.

Just a formality and sorted quickly.

I would recommend using netspend. You can generate virtual credit card numbers and checkout through paypal as a guest. It's not something to rely on, but it's good if you use it once in a while.

info on netspend
 

Any information on how to do it using netspend?

Use netspend if you want your account, the sellers account and your neighbors accounts suspended. Netspend and metabank spelled in pp and ebay is L I M I T E D

your rec
 

What would you recommend then?

Entropay is still a fine recommendation

Big chance of issues for two reasons.

I see you said once in a while but you can never tell if using guest checkout with paypal will be that time you get limited.

Netspend is not so good for paypal at the best of times. paypal has limited accounts and netspend was the reason.

You should manage OK with entropay.

www.entropay.com

You use your own debit or credit card to create the entropay account.
You fund this with at least US $20.00 Since you are shopping you could add more. When you want to pay for the item, you transfer the amount and make a virtual card... easy

Does anybody know where I could transfer the funds from my vanilla gift card to a virtual card. Because entropay is not working ...I can only use the vanilla visa card in the USA and I think that is why I cant use it with entropay.

What was the message you received when you tried it with EP?

You have to fund entropay with either your credit or debit card.

Seems you tried to use another funding source?

My little cousin uses eBay. Not a seller he is younger than 18. But he buys Simon Mall gift cards the Visa ones not American Express. You can register them online under any address and name you want. They will check out with PayPal. He uses those to buy items. I think the max you can put on a card is $500 USD.
