Activity: 0% Longevity: 92% | | anon way to accept online cash
we all know nobody pays with Postal orders or cheques much anymore, but I occasionally get the odd request, if its a smallish amount Ive accepted online top ups for mobiles, always useful, but Ive had to turn down higher amounts and lost the sale, as I like to avoid getting stuff sent to my own addresses, if there is an alternative, even if they are virtual ...
the reason people give for wanting to send monies by post is their credit card isnt working or paypal isnt working , so sometimes alternatives like a creditcard processor isnt viable, as Ive got all those already, and these people are often too dim or cannot use them.
anyone tried ukash? or any other suggestions, preferably free to use and accept money or small surcharge.

Whenever someone asks if they can pay via Postal Order or anything which involves them knowing personal details about myself, I try to encourage them to pay online but it never works out that way.
UKash seems to be the only option at the moment, although I've never had someone use it.
If I find any alternatives I'll be sure to post them.

norchex, moneybookers, 2co , ccnow, paypoint, moneygram, westerunion uKash, god theres loads and loads .
I don't get when you mean, a virtual address is a REAL address not a p.o box
or a simple forwarding address, most virtual addresses you have the option to collect or get it forwarded, it's just like you home address with your name or business name attached .
if you get a virtual address then use it and have the checks postal orders parcels what ever you like really sent there.
there real easy it get with fab'd ID and that way no come backs.
I would always try and find somewhere local to myself, then i would try and vist to pay in cash a few months upfront, they usually want I.D too, So when you hand it to them just keep them talking while they photocopy it they wont even look at what you give them.
Most of them would warn you if anything is looking sus, or am i just looking in the right places lol .
In the u.k getting an address should always be No2 on the list of things to do when creating a true stealth account .
Once you have a good one the skys the limit
God i don't half go on sometimes . | |

Moneygram, use it from the p.o i dont think you need C/C.
Virtual or service addresses are different from P.O Box's .
Virtual addresses you are aloud to use as you real address on ebay and paypal.
P.O Boxes you are not .
Virtual or service addresses where brought about for limited company's and sole traders to use as a public display address, virtual addresses company's do not have to give your information to the public on request. Company's that give you P.O Boxes do, anyone can look you up .

Lots of ways to move digital currency without CC. Like liberty reserve. But unless the buyer is used to using ecurrency or an exchanger, its a mess to try get them to work it out.
The only way that really can work easy with cash on one end sent to you is Western Union or Money Gram. But needs to be sent in your real name for pickup. I think you can avoid ID with WU by having sender use a secret question. But not sure if that still flies. Being stealth has its obvious advantages, but when trying to step out of that bubble it gets real sticky. Cant really do it both ways I'm afraid.
If you can still pickup WU without ID by using secret question, I would tell them that's the only option. Million locations to walk in with cash, so if they have issues with that, somethings not kosher... Sometimes losing a sale is better than opening yourself up to problems.

tizwoz, pobx can be used as address on pp, you just need to make it not look like a PO, when Im paying for a PO service, Im darn well gonna make the most of it, as an address too, i can confirm Ive not had probs....
thanks I will look in to moneygram
agreed, I do not look like the type to go in and accept WU, in a West African shop!! I can get away with anything though, I am never asked for ID...
PS. I object to the word aloud = allowed, used in my presence, it hurts my eyes....

virtual/service address on both ebay and paypal without having to fudge the information your cannot a p.o box thats what make them different among other things .
