Starting all over again......shall I format the pc?

You stated earlier that you still have 2 eb accounts available, but both pp accounts went down. Why not try eb alternative payment methods, and keep those accounts going?

[oge]

ccnow paymate or moneybrokers?

[lucy]

Thats right, got 2 ebay accounts but both paypal accounts with those accounts have gone and are limited for ever, plus you need to have a paypal email address when you sell on ebay uk and you must have paypal as the payment option, see

Accepted payments policy

Does not make any mention of alternative methods available such as paymate or ccnow moneybrokesrs working, can anyone verify if these work in the UK?


Frequently Asked Questions about Skrill (Moneybookers)

and it says "Skrill (Moneybookers) is fully integrated into the eBay checkout process. If the seller has selected Skrill (Moneybookers) as a payment option when setting up the auction on eBay.com, the buyer can choose to pay for the purchased product via the Skrill (Moneybookers) service on eBay checkout."

only allows it on ebay.com and not ebay.co.uk the checkout option for buyers

Do you think its worth trying to use my old ebay accounts that have the paypal limited and listing onto ebay.com with moneybookers instead, is it worth a shot?

Does that still apply to accounts created years ago ?.

i once went the money bookers route and didn't need a PP account then, i know it was a rule brought in a while ago but rules like that don't usually apply to accounts created before the rule was brought in.

More hassle than worth anyway.

[oompaloompa]

In 07 the rule came in re paypal in UK

[lucy]

So we can't use Allpay.net, cash2india, CertaPay, Checkfree.com, hyperwallet.com, Moneybookers.com, Nochex.com, Ozpay.biz, Paymate.com.au, Propay.com, XOOM in the UK, it HAS to be paypal then

no that should not be a problem.


Yes you can use the merchant accounts above but if your account was created after 2007 then you would have to have a paypal account attached if it was created before then you do not have to have pp attached.

Alos the list taken from eby im not sure it is up to date.


Good luck and don't rush.

accounts after 2007 must have paypal, you cant use anything else

Yes you can, although you must still have a PP attached you can still use other merchant accounts.

i've looked at How to find your mobile number on your sim even you don't have credit

but it dont work

Some sims need to be activated first, is the number not on the card that the sim was on ? try put it in a dongal if you have one and see if it shows the number in the software.

[oompaloompa]

to activate call yourself on another mobile or landline, you do not need credit for this, sim allows you enough juice to ring another line briefly, you do not have to pick up, just see number on screen or 1471 for landline

[lucy]

I've just tried 2 voda sims which I ordered from voda web site, both dont allow me to make any calls instead telling me "you have used all your calling credit, please arrange need to top up"

they dont allow you to make any call, the sims dont have dcredit and have not been registered, they dont have to if you just want to find out the number.

the *#1001# does not work with the voda sims as well, if i have to top up a fiver and register the sim just to find out the number than i might as well try some other simcard instead, not happy with voda they dont even have the sim number printed

[oompaloompa]

try t mobile then, they allow the free call to activate. Thing is if you want to keep it active in long run you need some top up to make the odd call.

[Stigger]

Am i missing something, if you intend to use it for teathering or dongle then you are going to have to top up anyway ?

Whats the drama with the number, why does it mean so much right now ?

[lucy]

the sim is only for ebay/ppal, i'm stuck at the moment as i cant get the vodafone sim number from the simcard, tried the *#1000# - it does not work

the sim is only for ebay/ppal in case they ring

do you have to register tmobile sim?
