this is quite strange.. this card is visa electron.. and when creating seller account it asks for visa/master card can this be a prob?

NO modee,i think visa electrons are not available in usa.. they are just like any other debit cards but without overdraft facility... basically this pre-paid card is a travel money card can be reloaded and used anywhere with visa symbol.. i wonder if anyone from uk has used it to create a seller account.. one think i dont understand is... why it was so easy to create ebay account when it was asking for a credit card verification but now the same card for creating a seller account is giving authorization failure.. if someone has used it i m open to suggestions

no i confirmed it has exactly 1 quid loaded onto it... basically the card provider has given telephone service for inquiries like balance, and last five transactions and i have confirmed the same.... i have one more of the same card type but in $ currency will try it later and let know the outcome..

some updates...

well i tried to test two of these cards in multiple scenarios...

1. tried using ⊗⊗⊗⊗ name and address but keeping real house number and postcodes on ebay NO LUCK !!

2. tried using real name and address on ebay NO LUCK !!

3. tested this on my own website for a transaction as low as .05p keeping ⊗⊗⊗⊗ info... NO LUCK!!

4. tested on my own website for transaction as low as .01p keeping real info.. . NO LUCK!!!

the card was activated couple of days back and is loaded the minimum of 1£ each...

i dont have any clue wat could be the reason for these denials... anyone???

So which ones were they??

Ok I have register already with everything that this forum suggested. However I'm still confused about the gift card or the prepaid credit card since the gift card is consider a debit card. Will they both work? Do you need an address and if so how do I apply this address to link to the debit or credit card?
Also what does avs stand for?

yes modee, i tried them to check if the card issuer charges some sort of fee per transaction so i lowered to the minimum on my own site just to make sure if thats a possibility... but yep this is not ebay issue.. something todo with the card...

ill find out and keep posted

Modee his does belong in this thread, Prepaid cards and then giftcards. Also about the part with the avs belongs here too t.t


AVs modee is right about that. All tho there is CVS CVVS and some other made up crap ones all which contain 3 digit numbers, in case you ever get asked that they usualy tell you on the card 3 digits. Prepaid cards are pretty much the same as giftcards. You put 20 or 25 in prepaid and then use the card or u can call it a giftcard anywere. Giftcards are just like cc's.

guess wat modee... solution at hand at last :)

well as i said the card had 1£ balance.. so when i first opened up ebay account it asked me for credit card verification i entered details from this card and all went well.. however when i was using the same card again to place credit card on file for creating seller account it was not authorizing... can u guess??? well ebay had originally charged 1£ so it had no remaining balance.. but as ebay will not take this 1£ so it will become available again in a couple of days... i figured that out after trial and error lolz so atlast problem solved :)

Modee, how to you pay your eBay fees if you don't mind me asking? I have been using the gift cards however I'm thinking maybe better to mail in payment with a money order. Can you recommend a solution for this? Will eBay be spooked by constant adding credit card to our profiles?

modee doest pay his fees lol

I just realized Simon is 2 years. That's pretty good. I'd prefer at least 3 but I'm ok with this. So I'm guessing it's $5.95 per card. Anyone know if you can purchase giftaccounts online with this?

I paid 2.00 not to long ago, when did Simon raise their fee?

That's for the giftaccount not giftcard.

I need help. Simon VCC didn't work on ebay or paypal. and advice?
