What I did was to
1. Create a brand new PP account, I used totally bogus name, address, etc. I confirmed the account with a simon vcc, and an IMG account. (before img crapped out). Now I have a brand new confirmed PP account with no money it. This is my "play account".
2. Then I had another paypal account send the new "play" account a 12.00 cash advance, a "loan repayment". Now I have 10.00 or so to play with in the new PP account.
3. With around 10.00 in the new PP account to "play with", I created 10 PP 1 time use VCC accounts using the PayPal plug in. I now have 10 VCC account numbers numbers to play with.
4. I used 5 of those VCC numbers to confirm 5 ebay seller accounts. The play account now shows a 5.00 balance, the other 5.00 was in limbo, the authorization doing its obligatory 1.00 hold for each of the confirmation authorizations from Ebay. In several days. that 5.00 will be back in my play account after the authorization expires.
5. With the other 5 VCC card numbers, I confirmed 5 new PP accounts. PayPal accepted it's own credit card numbers to verify new PayPal accounts. Credit Cards are now confirmed for 5 new PP accounts.
6. I was going to use ING for checking account verification on the 5 new PP accounts but as we know, ING is no longer good so I will need another set of virtual bank accounts to finish verification on the 5 new accounts.
Imagine the irony of being able to do this .....
