Revolut VCCs no longer working
 

Iv been using Revolut VCCs for buying on ebay stealth accounts for a while but over the past week I have made 5 purchases on different accounts with diffent cards and 4 of the payments were reverted out of those 4 payments 3 of the accounts were then suspended so I'm guessing that's the end of VCC's

Re: Revolut VCCs no longer working
 

If you have a UK residential account they will work, I think PayPal knows a UK non resident account VCC and now declines payments from them.

Re: Revolut VCCs no longer working
 

I have a UK account, they are missmatching names and addresses as the ebay accounts are stealth but it's not been a problem before this week

Re: Revolut VCCs no longer working
 

I think eBay is tightening up on the mismatch names on VCC, I tried another this week and although the credit card authorized the PayPal payment through its phone app, PayPal would not accept it.

Re: Revolut VCCs no longer working
 

this is odd - avs all matched up - how much was the amount preloaded?

Re: Revolut VCCs no longer working
 

I think problem is with your account itself... not the VCC
because normally it works.

Re: Revolut VCCs no longer working
 

need more details about your setup and sales; any risky items?

Re: Revolut VCCs no longer working
 

Nothing sold on these accounts, I usually buy a few low cost items before I sell anything to make sure the accounts don't get suspended straight away. When I am purchasing something with a vcc it goes though on me revolt account but then on the ebay page it says please use another payment method then after a few minutes the payment is reverted on revolt

Re: Revolut VCCs no longer working
 

As a test I just purchased an item with my real ebay account using a revolut vcc and the payment went through without an issue so I guess the mismatching information is where the issue is

Re: Revolut VCCs no longer working
 

Another thread about Revolut not working, always turns out to be the user rather than revolut

Re: Revolut VCCs no longer working
 

I am having a similar issue with rev VCCs suddenly not working, does any of the information on the vcc have to match the ebay account or should stealth details work OK? Up until this week my my vcc has worked with different details to the ebay account. Not been suspended just payment isn't going through

Re: Revolut VCCs no longer working
 

Welcome to the forum - all the best as you master stealth :thumb:


just to clarify - only issue with rev vcc or others too

Re: Revolut VCCs no longer working
 

Only Revolut

Re: Revolut VCCs no longer working
 

it is likely that only the disposable revolut card does not work but the others should work

Re: Revolut VCCs no longer working
 

Tried both, neither are working for me anymore. Only time it has worked is with a real account with matching details, for any stealth accounts I use the payment is reverted

Re: Revolut VCCs no longer working
 

just try the correct billing address , the main cards should work

Re: Revolut VCCs no longer working
 

Done that still not working. The message I'm getting is please check your payment details or use a diffent option

Re: Revolut VCCs no longer working
 

It tends to work for buying but not for paying selling fees

It can get mixed up between the 2

Re: Revolut VCCs no longer working
 

I haven't used Revolut for years after they asked to to show proof of source. Using Wise now and all good

Re: Revolut VCCs no longer working
 

Yep Revolut are pretty know for asking for lots of verifications especially with mismatching name deposits

Re: Revolut VCCs no longer working
 

It seems to be hit and miss now, one day they are working the next day they aren't

Re: Revolut VCCs no longer working
 

Are you using revolut personal account or revolut business ?

Re: Revolut VCCs no longer working
 

Personal account

Re: Revolut VCCs no longer working
 

I pay selling fees with Revolut all the time for new accounts and it works great.
I've got one to pay later today and will update the thread.

Re: Revolut VCCs no longer working
 

What fees are you paying 'all the time' given that they're deduced from the sale proceeds before disbursement?

Even if fee balance arose, I didn't know you could manually pay them, I thought you had to attach a card as a back up in case they couldn't reclaim them from your bank account.

Re: Revolut VCCs no longer working
 

back up - right on

Re: Revolut VCCs no longer working
 

Revoult personal account

Re: Revolut VCCs no longer working
 

Depending on what's listed, new accounts may not have that much sales and withdrawals are set to daily so when fees are due, and no funds from prior sales are available, we get that 'Friendly Reminder: You have ebay fees that are due' email.

Revolut -> Edit Profile -> Change residential address to match ebay account details.
Cards -> Disposable virtual card -> Pay the fees using the pay button link within the ebay email.
Long process but it's always work even for refunds.

This tends to accumulate cards in the account if you carry on.
How do you manage refunds and fees when you don't have balance?

Re: Revolut VCCs no longer working
 

Nice to see someone going straight in there with business accounts ( contrary to the advice on this forum) :)

Given you've no meaningful sales, why not change the initial few disbursements to, say, monthly to negate this issue of cards?

I too only deal in business accounts and I've never opened an account (most recent May this year) where there's been insufficient sales/funds to pay to fees, but as a safeguard I don't use daily disbursements even on established accounts. I set it at weekly and can do 'on demand' if I feel like it.

That means I've never had to fund anything from another source but if I did then they would go to my bank account.

Re: Revolut VCCs no longer working
 

Great idea actually. I've had a few scary instances on fast-selling accounts, especially one where significant amount was held pending ID submission. I thought it might be better to minimise risk by capping any losses to one day's worth of sales - so I updated our procedure to set all subsequent accounts to daily payout and have religiously followed it ever since.
Part of it could be old habits from the old days with PayPal daily sweep.


If I remember correctly, the on demand payout option had not been introduced at the time so I did not have that option.
However, yours is a better way to do it.

Re: Revolut VCCs no longer working
 

Just updating this thread to confirm payment for eBay fees with revolut succeeded.
Revolut personal, Multi-use virtual card

Re: Revolut VCCs no longer working
 

Did you change your personal details on revolut to match those on the eBay account (as described above) ?

Re: Revolut VCCs no longer working
 

Yes, because I used the multi-use virtual card which is AVS.
For some reason, the single-use visa card kept failing however it used to work in the past.

Re: Revolut VCCs no longer working
 

How many times have you changed your address on Revolut? I haven't tried this yet so will give it a go

Re: Revolut VCCs no longer working
 

Several times per week and well over two years now.
Not all of these are on eBay. Some are for Google ads but each ad account is different so payment is matched to the address with every payment per account.

Most times, I go to change it and realise I've left it on a stealth address by accident. Terrible habit, I know but it still serves.
