Prepaid card
 

Having read page 19 on the stealth guide, it states that a prepaid card is required. If I obtain a new bank account, I do not see the reason behind a prepaid card. If anyone knows why it's required then please say, as I don't see why it's required. And also, I have purchased a Vodafone R207 MiFi device to create a mobile data hotspot for my factory reset laptop. Would it be safe to check my account on my banned IP (Not log-in, just 'See seller's items'), if not, what is the cheapest/safest method as I do not want to spend too much on mobile data monthly. Many thanks.

You cannot use a real life card. It will fail the AVS check.

Entropay will bypass the AVS check, so we use that.

Bank account to verify paypal
VCC to confirm paypal.
I like to get those done before.attempting to list on ebay :-)

Re: Prepaid card
 

Thanks :) Do you use real information to set up entropay or the variated information

Re: Prepaid card
 

Entropay is always made with your real ID.


You then use funds from your entropay account to make the virtual card.

Then, you simply add the numbers of that card to paypal. No need for names.

Hi ,

on the entropay "sign up" page is that where I enter my own personal/ real id ?

where do I enter the ⊗⊗⊗⊗ name address etc on the card for paypal


thanks

Re: Prepaid card
 

Yes...sign up with real info. Then create a.sub card.

Then you just give the numbers of this sub card to paypal. No names and addresses are needed to be given. Just give them the numbers of the sub card :-)

Re: Prepaid card
 

Ive created an entropay account and upgraded by entering my name and address , but when I add a new virtual card there is no option anywhere to add the stealth details

Re: Prepaid card
 

You don't add the stealth details on EP - you REGISTER on pp with your stealth details

Re: Prepaid card
 

Thanks , just working everything out before I go ahead and try

Re: Prepaid card
 

If you are unsure....post your plan on here. Great way to see.that you are doing.things correctly beforehand :-)

Re: Prepaid card
 

My plan:
New Natwest bank account
Vodafone MiFi R207 device with giff gaff sim card to create a hotspot for my laptop
Create an entropay card
Create paypal
Verify paypal
Only selling basic stuff on eBay, nothing too much so will start selling after a couple of days
(Using an address 70 miles away)

Re: Prepaid card
 

only things I stuck on is the stealth address , (is there an option that doesn't have to be paid for)

and changing the ip address each time, I have VM superhub , 3 internet connection in the house , 1-wired , 1-wirelesslaptop , 1-wireless via VM dongle

Re: Prepaid card
 

where would be you getting your address from , thanks

Re: Prepaid card
 

Using my grandma's address. By the way, the address you decide on using must be within 100 miles of your actual address so take that into consideration

Re: Prepaid card
 

I did read that elsewhere , just cant find anyone who hasn't had/got ebay ,

considering using an address that doesn't exist ??

Re: Prepaid card
 

This will be the first time I've stealthed before so I recommend asking someone with a lot more experience sorry.

Re: Prepaid card
 

Verify and.confirm paypal before.selling. Thats how i.operate.
Not.entirely.sure if i agree with.selling.after.a.couple of days.Not to.mention, its xmas, a bad time to start.selling on a.new.account.
My.advice, passed from GB, is to.create account and give it.some browsing.history over.xmas.and then start selling after :-)

Re: Prepaid card
 

Im completely of NO help on this lol. I operate purely.from mobile devices. Its all i.know.:-)
God help.everyone when i get a laptop as im gonna.need.help.with that :-)

Re: Prepaid card
 

Mine aernt.....i have legit addresses over 400 miles away.
Do think about an address in terms of how youll manage returns. Ideally your address needs tobbe accessible

Re: Prepaid card
 

Manual review could flag a.property that does not exist.
Plus...how will you manage returns?

Re: Prepaid card
 

Guide does state about friend/family addresses but this has been revamped with forum info...you should use under stealth addresses - e.g. po box.

UK is a bit tricky with the manual review and electoral database, etc - as long as grandma is in the know...and allows for it....worth considering I would say
