Funding my new stealth account?
 

I've got some semi new stealth accounts with a balance of $1.50.

I'd like to be able to fund these accounts so I can have money in there to pay fees and shipping costs.

How can I successfully fund the accounts without sending money from one of my other Paypals?

Is there a simple solution to fund them?

add a preloaded card

or sell low value stuff that does not incur fees if unsold, and build up feedback and some funds in the balance.

I'll have funds available in 3 days or so but in the meantime I'll be selling more and I'll need to ship. I know I can use a third party to pay and print the label but I'd rather just fund the account.

If I got a preloaded card, that would require my real name and then paypal will see my name, right?

With ebay shipping you can check mark the box that says "pay later - usually after funds clear".

For new accounts, print the label through ebay, sign up for automatic shipping bill payment through paypal, it will decline the payment because you don't have the funds. Then go to print the label again and on the bottom right side, you will see the option for either pay now, or pay later. Choose the pay later, and you can ship as many items as you need and it will deduct the funds after they clear.

You have to do it in this order because it doesn't give you the pay later option until after you sign up through paypal.

No. many prepaid gift cards only require a zip code. Try a Vanilla card.

vanilla is best

sell something or add a VCC or both :amen:

Obviously selling something won't fund the account if it's new and has the holds. I've figured it out though.
