Yes that is their hidden plans - thanks GB.

From time to time there is also the issue of ID... but I am not going into that. :spy:

Ask customer service to waive $4 fee for speaking with them about your card. They will do it.

How gracious!

I would also expect tea & scones

:faint:

just dont key in your card number when it tells you to, wait & it connects you to a operator

Anyone had problems with cards being restricted?

Mine is perfectly fine..

Had a few of mine restricted can see no reason for them to do so and not get any info from them over the phone. Frustrating

Eb/pp restriction or Auspost/load&go restriction?

Load & Go restriction seems odd as the original load money still on the card and only used to verify PP account.... most odd (I think)

I thought I was hijacked and had ended up in an ebay call centre :doh:

To say I got peeved is an understatement.

Was this just before Christmas?

Ah Been waiting for the sainted GB to chime in, I think it must have happened after the 28th 4 load & go accounts seem to have all gone down at the same time. I opened these all on the same day which is about the only thing they have in common. I was not being particularly stealthy dealing with them as can not see the need when dealing with these cards. Others I have are fine (touch wood) so far.

Forgot to say I'd be grateful for GB's 2 bobs worth on this....

I just created x 2 eBay Stealths and x 2 PayPal accounts TODAY so I'm waiting for verification from PayPal and see how this goes. All my accounts (fingers crossed) are fine. Things have changed they no longer call a mobile number you put down to subscribe as a new ebay user and give you a password just an email confirmation does it and put in any mobile number on a $2 SIM pack. PayPal charge your accounts $2 flat and send you a message on your credit card statement for verification now, then reimburse they $2 once everything is verified. Hopefully that was all a New Year's hangover glitch and they haven't restricted Load & Go Accounts!

I bet the card is ecstatic.

RE: Load & Go restriction, I have finally been able to find out why some of my cards were restricted. The small deposits made by Paypal raised some red flags. Had a good yarn with the customer support guy from Aus post (who is in Vic) not the initial call centre operator (who is in Scotland of all places) who lifted the restrictions said they like to call the card holder rather than the card holder calls them. I got on to the original call centre complained like crazy and they said they emailed Aus Post and then Aus Post will call directly. Now all good.

All my stealth accounts are good. PayPal verification all good.

My eBay Paypal were all good to the problem was with load & go. In a nutshell certain things will trigger a card restriction. It takes awhile up to 5 working days from the time you complain but so long as the phone number you registered with the card with can receive a call from them it is quite painless and they do not care if you have more than one card.:heh:

Got few restricted today, and most of them had only been used on PayPal.. Strange. Does LG card share info with PP? If yes, it kinds of beat the stealth purposes..

Hmm just got a Load & Go card today for my first stealth.. but i used my mobile number because i hadnt memorised the voip service number id gotten lol and forgot about it. Can this be changed after registering the card online?

Yes you can, when you registered it you can use any mobile phone number you want.

Yeah already changed it :) Hopefully all goes well then
