| If the issue seems to be with barclays...can you not try with another bank if you have another one.
Could be any visa i guess coz they dont share info.
Perhaps ask entropay to remove the.barclays.completely and start again with another bank group.
I might be wrong, but its just a thought.
At the beginning of joining entropay, they just need to verify you by your card which you will use to fund the cards. So another card might work.
See what others think or if you are fed up, go another route :-) |

| I can echo this, as I have said in couple of previous posts, Barclays just are not receiving or are not prepared to give us the Entropay code, they can see Entropay London, but that is all, and this seems to be the situation whatever I call the code or whatever time of day I ring them, whether this has anything to do with the code only being visible to them for a brief period of time, and we have no way of knowing when in the day that brief period of time is! |

Barclays have always been snotty about helping.
Some of their tellers act like the funds are coming out of their own wallet.

Thought other person was using his.barclays to be the card linked to entropay to fund all the.vcc,s.
It wouldnt be a waste of a bank account as he is referring to the problem with entropay, not pp. They dont share details.
But i agree that if OP can get another vcc, it would save all the hassle. |

| We have a Wilkinson store in our nearest main town, never noticed in they do these vanilla visa's, on the other hand if they only do them in £25 and £50 values, that sounds suspiciously like other pre-paid cards in this country that once you have used the money on them they cannot be reloaded, so you literally can only use the £25 or £50 and then that's it, you might as well throw them in the bin, they certainly wouldn't be any use for anything that needed to be paid or had a value over £50 and could never be used again anyway, the other thing with pre-paids in the UK is that they cannot be linked to PayPal anyway, maybe in the future, but definately not now. |

Right I see, so there is no limit in theory to the numbers of 3v cards that could be bought, because that is another problem with pre-paid cards in this country they can be small limits on how many one person can buy. I bought one from the post office, it was one of their generically created pre-paids, it coukd definately not be used with paypal, in fact it was very gradually being introduced for any sort of Internet buying, and that was only towards the end of last year so recent |

Yes, a chew on sometimes with codes but entropay usually deal with any probs you have if you drop them a message :-) |

Re: Entropy are hopeless, any other Prepay Card?
I'm going to have one final go at Entropay there's a saying along the lines that "if you sling enough mud at something it eventually sticks" (Kept it clean)
I hope this is the case! |

| Having said that halo honey, they stopped replying to my emails to them when I could not get that authorisation code from Barclays late last year!, one or two forum members have since commented that maybe Barclays Bank is not the best bank for using if people want to use Entropay, as they deny ever seeing the code when we ring them up, I had to abandon my attempts and move on! |

| Agreed...yes people do seem to have been.having probs with barclays.
I use Lloyds....a couple of teething probs in the beginning but was easily resolved.

| Barclay's still works great for stealth accounts, so changing the bank just to try and use Entropay will not always be the best option, some people may prefer to just use different VCC, there are no doubt some super one's that can be bought in the marketplace on this forum that are perfectly useable with eBay/PayPal. |

Just to put this thread to bed...
Managed to get 3V card accepted by PP and attached bank account.
Sold few low-value items and took about £50.
Couple of days later Paypal limited me and are asking for Photo ID...
I've pretty well given up on this account now. Maybe try again from scratch. It's a shame, because I had access to the stealth address and SOME of the documents PP asked for....just can't get the photo ID. |

| Yeh. I was surprised as I really thought I'd have to ring up to ask. I think people may be looking at the wrong place or should get the Barclays app or even use online banking because the 6 digit number was displayed as part of the sender details on the transaction, so it has EPXXXXXX (x is the numbers), and it was these numbers that were needed.
EDIT: I've just been reading through this thread and it seems like there might be some misunderstanding as the code that entropay require to verify the VCC is something that we DO see and not just the bank but as mentioned above people may be looking at the wrong place as it definitely appears on the bank statement. I'll try and upload screen shot of the app tomorrow which shows the transaction so people know what to look for. |

| Yes katty but most of the time it glitches and does not show the code on the statement.
It happens on a lot of different banks and statements.
And when this happens you have to get the payment authorazation code or approval code from the bank to prove it went through. |

Re: Entropy are hopeless, any other Prepay Card?
Just to update at the sixth time of asking I got the Entropay code. 4 times with Barclays and twice with Lloyds. Taken me over 3 weeks but finally there. Onward and upward. Don't know how I did it must have just got lucky. When I get my statement it will probably be plastered with codes but just couldn't see them online until this morning. |

Re: Entropy are hopeless, any other Prepay Card?
As far as 3V are concerned I've given up now and used it on something else. I suspect Paypal have a algo which can search for these and highlight them. I daresay they are working on one that will do the same for Entropay accounts very soon.
Interesting though on the 3V website that there is an advert advising customers that they can use these vouchers / cards for Paypal transactions. You have to wonder if 3V are linked in anyway to Paypal. 3V will have a list of valid card numbers created from vouchers and I did notice the format of the numbers on mine were slightly different could this information be given to Paypal to run through their system and any number it sees flags the account? |

Paypal do know what cards are been added wheather its a vcc or a real bank card and can stop them been added if they so choose.
Im not saying that its happening right now but it can do , so its not a bad thing to be aware of it. |
