It will work.. Keep us posted.

in UK you cant open a bank account in a ups address, they check your DL etc as id, its vcc for us or nothing..

So if I have 3 debit cards,I can have three different names' accounts but the same address,am I right?? If the 3 accounts have same address,they will get linked to each other...Am I right?

Right! Use your unused account with new address all new stealth. So now you can create 3 new accounts. Why would you use same address? You would get linked... Make all new Stealth and DO NOT get linked.

I can give my bank and address I want. They also check your DL when you open account, but if I tell them I want PO box or something as my mailing address, they will do it for me here in US.
Hey Ooompapa, ever thought about moving here girl?:bounce:

yes, no its stricter here. Yes thought about it, somewhere warmer...summer here and pouring with rain, wearing wellies in the garden, got a new swimming pool, looking at it thru the window with annoyance..

Where I am there is a beach and lots of palm trees, no harsh winters ever! I am loving it here. 4 miles and I am on the beach!:cheer:

Anyone had any trouble with a VCC!?!

I guess that means it's not possible to do the seller fees deferral trick anymore. Big piles of poop!

So it's true that the simon cards are not working anymore?

Yes and not sure what to use next. I know something has to work tho. Simon is just " a over used card " So there has to be somehting else > : O

gift2go cards are dead also.

Try Amex gift card. I did it few months ago to lift PayPal $500 limit and it worked.

an am ex card update would be helpful.

Thanks.

Well, does eBay necessarily care if the name on file matches the information exactly on the credit card? What exactly are they looking for? Has anyone figured out a work around yet for this?

They dont check for the name on the card, i use my discover card (online secure account numbers) for every stealth account.. all that needs to match for the card to be authorized is the city/zip code.. i use different names && addresses all the time

Well, my credit card won't work if I use a different name and address on eBay. Are you sure this works?

I just tried one of my bank cards with a stealth Paypal account. It worked perfect. All that matched my CC details were zip code and city.

It will depend on the bank that issued the card and how they handle the process on their end. Most cards will be fine. Some cards are more stringent.

AVS only can check zip code and street number. That's all it does.

Credit cards will not release cardholder info to merchants without the cardholder being on the phone at the same time.

For blocking prepaid cards, eBay probably is blocking bank identification numbers, the 6 digits that a card starts with. I am sure there's at least a card or two that eBay forgot to block. I very much doubt it came from eBay reading this forum and more likely because it's very common knowledge to use prepaid cards to get back on eBay.

So far I am still able to pay my eBay fees with prepaid cards, though.

I agree, there must be at least one card they forgot. I haven't tested it yet, but I would think ebay would still allow payments by prepaid cards, they just wouldn't allow verification by prepaid cards. If you're still paying fees with prepaid cards, then that sounds like it may be true.

I'm mad at the world right now!

Yeah, I got this today as well.

Aren't the three options to add either a Paypal account, credit card, or bank account?

Why not add a bank account just to get verified, then close it later? Would they flag your account once they tried to withdraw fees and saw your bank account was closed? I guess you could always pay your fees before they would need to go into your bank account.

I knew I should have gotten off my lazy ass last week and turned this account I'm now trying to sell on into a seller account. My own fault.

But I have a new debit card coming in the mail any day now. I will try what Lyda said and report back what happens.
