Verifying a credit card

[MeToYou]

On my new stealth account I added a VCC but it hasn't asked for it to be verified, and all limits are already lifted except the £1900 one which is to be expected. Yet if I go in to the credit card option there is a small link that says "verify and link" or words to that effect. Is there any point in me doing this if it won't lift any limits ? I don't sell on EB so is this why people do it ?

Also the same for the phone, I am not asked to verify my phone number. Is this another EB only thing ?

Confirming the vcc confirms your address nothing more. Confirming the bank account raises the initial limits.

No need to confirm phone with p/p

Things have definitely changed then. I am sure I used to have to confirm the phone at least, 5 odd years ago anyway.

So if I use my EP VCC card and verify it, then it is better than not doing so ? Or totally pointless if I am not going to use that address to post to ? I was thinking maybe it will hold off needing to confirm address via docs.

confirming the vcc is good, makes p/p a little more happy.

You will still need to provide docs to raise the £1900 limit regardless. Its EU law.

Not to sure what you mean by not using that address to post to as the p/p address and vcc address should be the same or you will have a problem

Thanks. I thought though that I read elsewhere on here it was said that a VCC can have your real address registered and it will verify ok with stealth PP ?

depends on the vcc but yes the main vcc has your real info but the card on p/p must have your ⊗⊗⊗⊗ details

I am a little concerned now. I used EP and have gone for verification of the card. EP is in legit name and address. PP isn't. Does this mean it may fail ? I searched the forums, some said it will work, others say to create a secondary card. Confusing.

You should never use the main e/p card always a secondary card with the same name as on your ⊗⊗⊗⊗ p/p account.

You will just need to wait and see what happens

Can you set up different names and adresses for secondary cards within Entropay? I've not seen that (nor have I looked...)

I thought name and address details were always hidden from PP by the VCC? Essentially it confirms you are owner of the card and from that they assume address verification?

Hmm.. starting to confuse myself again.
