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!

stealth details of course

Will i be able to withdraw funds from the paypal account if i set it up with a prepaid card?

really this ibux looks good lol, ive just told my husband to go around all the poundlands getting several but still dont solve the bank account bit of paypal

i've been searching for ibux cards too but no luck so far... do local convenience/corner shops still sell these?

Try prime cards,

^^^^
are these the same as ibux? unlike entropay and the others being mentioned, ibux looked great because it seems to avoid the extra hassles/steps of buying the card with real detail then changing/buying new one from it to put into stealth.

is prime still working, have not tested it in a while?

ibux was working as of 2 months ago....

but where the bleedin' 'eck can you get em from?!

Prime IS ok for amazon i did not test for ebay

UK Prepaid card issuers

ibux.co.uk/index.html

entropay still ok ?
 

After 2mth of forum reserch an ebay stealth reading im ready to go!
Can anyone comfirm entropay still ok? anyone used it last couple a week?
Just has a less load balance than ibux so gonna give this a shot first.

Thanks :D

Entropay is still working but not all the ranges..UK pp its ok coz you can not withdraw from UK pp to CC.

but European account if you will try to withdraw you will be limited access in MAX 10 min after you request the withdraw, PP will require to confirm the card and prove of address, do this and they will reinstate your account and you will able to withdraw.

BUT in some cases when you will try to withdraw again,,the something will happen again and you have to send prove of address ( in some cases your ID too).

Notes: EP is one of the reasons to get PP 21 days hold. , if you will use EP certain ranges card.

What does your last sentence mean? 'EP certain ranges card? Please explain. :pop2:

discard that ^^^we are on UK forum so the first digits of EP card is all we need to worry about...Egy was discussing other countries...

Grean Bean, here it is:
1- 4313 is good only for Malta PP other than Malta...you cant add it plus limited access.
2- 4590 You can add it to any PP, but IN UK will get the 21 days...others...Limited access
3- 4101 You can add it to any PP..work perfectly with UK PP...Problems when withdraw(European countries) as I mentioned above.

Note..Every one can get 4101 buy choosing GBP when open new EP account.

Thanks EGY - i will try this

what about 4595?

just seen a few poundlands finally beginning to stock ibux cards again. Will be buying soon: the £20 thing: you buy this from the shop for £1, then call them/go online and have to put a minimum of £20 on it? 1) I'm assuming you pay them via your real debit or credit card? 2) Is there then any way to get this £20 back into your pocket off the ibux card? I'm probably missing something obvious, but don't want £20 just sitting on this card for no reason when the card will never be used for anything (as it was only bought for stealth registering purposes)- I need that £20 lol! 3) What's the difference between buying this and buying a uk-verified VCC from a seller here on the site?

if £20 is going to make the difference between success and failure i'd say you haven't thought about it properly. You should also consider getting a VOIP line that will cost money aswell. It's an investment....£20 to make £200.....etc etc....or £1650 to be precise haha
