Welcome to the forum :yar:

http://entropay.com
This is the pre-paid card you can use. It's a virtual card. You use your real name to make the card, then use the funds to make another card in the name of your new ebay/paypal account.

does entropay still work?

yes it works, there are other prepaid cards forumers have used eg barclays , 3v
do a search

Register the entropay card using your real details. It uses an existing debit card to upload funds to it - £10 min. Create a new card, the name on the newly created entropay doesnt actually matter, Paypal only sees account numbers and the CVV.

Or alternatively sign up at Mycashplus.co.uk and add an additional cardholder, you will then get two prepaid mastercards both with different numbers.. The fees are much much lower than entropay, especially if you plan to keep using it. You can load up your prepaid card and it automatically allows the additional card to have that balance as well.

Correct me if I am wrong but doesn't a pre paid card do what a debit or CC does on Pay Pal? we can not withdraw funds from paypal onto the registered Card, we will need a bank account and sort code, these prepaid cards don't come with one?

Am I missing somthing?

why not get a card in a stealth name delivered to a stealth address like the mysterious flat 14 in a communal block that has only 13 flats? the real challenge then is posing as an ex tenant coming to check his mail.....(do this from an internet cafe a long way from home)

Yes can be done. Get creative with your methods.

Look what eBay and Paypal are making us do :noidea:

HOW can I invent ADDRESS, NUMBER, NAME, FLAT NUMBER ETC OR MUST BE REAL???

ARIEL, dont type in capital all the time ffs.

Pick a name you like and find an address you can use. Make sure the address has not been used before with ebay. That's how you start :peace:

When you open a new paypal account you need a proper bank accout sort code etc. Why do you need a virtual or gift card as well? Am I missing something? What is the point of a gift card? Can somebody enlighten please?

Yes you are missing something .

the thing you should know is that, you will need it and why will become obvious at the time .

i have an entropay card with £20 on it. i used my real details obviously but how do you get another card in a stealth name like above mentioned?

transfer £3 from the £20, using transfer button under the card details (picture of card), and choose the money to go to 'a new entropay card' option ( you will get all the card options on a list to choose from.

play around with entropay to get the hang of it, its easier than trying to explain it here. v easy.

cheers m8, done. just put under another name

I already registered with EntroPay
add 20 pounds and creates a with 3 pounds
now that I have to do
use the second card and add that data to create an account on ebay / pp is so? there is something I missed?

yon need to search for a virtual card like entropay you do have to set it up in your name but then you can make out gift cards to people using there names and addresses then use these to create your ebay/paypal accounts, if you do this wait at least 1 to 2 weeks after creating the virtual credit card, make a new paypal account first and verify it this is a must before creating an ebay account, make sure you have already followed the steps to avoid being linked to previous account before even starting this process, new ip/telephone number/ delete cookies etc

ibux.co.uk - get it over the counter at many a fag shop in the uk - 20 gbp initially to get it going - you can register that online or phone with any and i mean any address you like !

sorry, btw, the ibux is a pre-paid mastercard and paypal are cool with it, accept straight away!

hi guys, @pending cheers for the info about ibux, gonna get me one of them tomorrow from poundland! - one question though, when i register it online, do i use my real info or stealth? (not just address but name and anything else thats necessary?) this'll be my 1st stealth account and 1st time ive used a prepaid card, so i want to make sure ive done it right!
