Ive used them on a UK and South African account..

when you register the card on 3V's website, you put the details you wish to use on paypal

From what i can see from looking at the site.......3V vouchers have a life span of 2-3 months whereas the gift cards state that they last for 12-13 months, so presumably the gift cards are the way to go? Once purchased am i right in thinking that it can then be used on a Paypal account as your credit card? Any advice is much appreciated..as I have a similar problem to ebayhater which i am keen to resolve.

correct a 3v gift card code and pin is activated on the 3v site, they email you your card number/expiry and cvv, it adds to paypal just fine.

It definately adds to paypal for buying and paying fees, it does not add to ebay alone though, from what I recall...

I know you can buy with it on amazon..........

If you READ the info on the site it works like a credit card (prepaid, of course)

I can`t read so /raspberry GB - yeah I get lazy on a Monday morning that is supposed to be a holiday but I have to work ha ugh

How you doin`GB?

Added 3v to paypal no problem! and linked eBay and paypal for fees
eBay not asked for credit card

That is good news.

If you do add a CC to PP, EB will not need another CC.

I also noticed that EB AND PP do not require a CC at all if you verify Bank firstly before selling anything. All you get is the telephone stage on EB, but no CC needed!!!

Anyone else experienced this?

ukflashman · #15 10-12-2011

ebay king . Good info.

I will try to verify the bank first next time see if they need cc or not and let everyone know

but one can argue that it is better to have separate CC for ebay and paypal just in case EB is limited we could save lots of fees by having a separate CC for ebay.
but I remember we now HAVE TO link paypal and ebay regardless ?

exactly flashman, you do not want fees taken from bank if there is no balance. If you keep balance high though. Better to have back-up vcc as funding source as well.

eBay King · #17 10-13-2011

flashman, fees can be saved if EB limit an account with or without CC on file.

If EB do the dirty on you and limit the account and it is stealth, the choice as to whether or not they get their fees is entirely down to you.

Has not happened to me in a long time, but always good to know.
