right just to keep you in the loop

change entropay address on saturday may have even been friday and made a new card in stealth name

waited until monday then i opened paypal account in stelath name on card and copy and pasted address ect from entropay to paypal

i have over £9 on card and still they have taken no money from card or give me any 4 digit number to verify paypal

surely it should be sorted by now?

i have 3 new bank accounts ready to go im wondering if i should just use them to verify although i would prefer to verify using entropay as making a new card is less hassle than opening bank accounts

your thoughts please

you have requested the 4 digit code from paypal havnt you? Just entering the entropay card into paypal isnt enough.

You need to confirm the card before they will send the code and that usualy takes anything from 2-5 working days in my experience.

no they havent give me one yet i have nothing showing on entropay statement

if it takes 2-5 working days that may be why i opened paypal on Monday with entropay so technically 5 working days may be monday again

we shall see

what do you mean ask for the registration code?

because they havent sent me one again and its been more than 5 days now

sorry just a bump

what do you mean ask for the registration code?

because they havent sent me one again and its been more than 5 days now

have you gone on add/remove card on paypal and clicked confirm card? in regards the VCC (entropay)

yes it just keeps going to bank details

thanks

Verify? or Lift Limits?

once you start selling...where are you going to withdraw the money to?

From what i understand, you really dont need to change your address on entropay, as this may cause you problems with them, not e bay or p pal, and it seems really handy to have an active entro pay account to use.
The whole idea of entropay is, they are anonymous cards, there are no names on the cards, you just pick a name to give them for your own records when you create a new card - for example, i have 3, one is called entropay virtual visa, the other is called no2, and the other is called no3.

stealth use aside, the main reason a lot of people use vccs is because they get to have a credit card without sharing any of their personal information, so there is no way p pal will know what name is on the card - just the number and verification code.

Please correct me if i am wrong anyone, but it seems that if you are changing addresses on entr opay then you are making it more complicated for yourself - just stick to your real name and address with entro, then whenever you create a new card, just give the number to p pal and tell them whatever name you like, there is no way they can find out otherwise!

to bank probably but i am struggling to see why my account will not verify with entropay card when it works for everyone else i would like to get a bit og age on some of my accounts before i add a bank

i want it to verify

its now taking more than phone verification and entropay to lift the limits in most cases.

Have they not asked you to send in documents?

yes to lift limits they have


how do i get hold of lots of new ID's so i can lift my limits?


just to add i bow have 3 pp accounts in different addresses i tried to verify them all with entropay and none have been verified

i have now added a bank account to one of them to verify that way i am just awaiting deposits

paypal most of the time ask for documents to lift limits now.

have you added a bank account to the pp accounts?

and you need to be creative.:juggle:

Hello guys, it's nice thread, thank you very much for it, as I understand we UK ppl can create Entropay virtual card to verify paypal, so that's fine, the only one question is how to withdraw money later from paypal after I opened entropay, created account on paypal, verified it with entropay, created ebay account linked it to paypal, and finally earn some money? So how to withdraw money now from pp?
Do I have to connect my bank account? But how can I do that if my bank acc is made on my real name and I use stealth name with pp?
Many thanks for your help.

Use a bank that accepts deposits in different names and you will be good to go worte! PP doesn't see the name on the bank account :). Just don't send money from the bank account and deposit in PP by mistake.

unknown speaks the truth.

PayPal cant see the name on your bank account due to data protectino laws.

So as long as your bank accepts debits incoming from a different name you can use any stealth name you like.

Thank you guys for your replys, ok so I opened an entropay VCC, I opened a paypal account, I add my VCC to my PayPal, the question is why I had to do that?
To become verified on UK PayPal, they ask me to add my bank account? So what was the point in adding entropay VCC if I can't become verified with it in UK PayPal?

Ok I think I get that, they took 1 Pound from my entropay card, I suppose now I have to wait 2-3 days to receive a 4 digit code in statement right?
And than I will be able to verify my PayPal account with it right?
I have already add my bank account to my PayPal but I didn't confirm it yet, I have add it to my stealth name, is that alright that I did this?
Now another question is they need to send deposits to my bank account to confirm it, what should be written in account holder name field when on the page where they ask bank details? If this field will be on my stealth name will the deposits come to my bank?
If yes than I think it's alright that I add my bank account?
Please guys I need your help so badly, I'am desperate.

I have a same situation as xortex, they charged 1 pound on my VCC and there is no place to put 4 digit code if I ever will receive it in my VCC statement, when I click on Complete Verification, it ask me to add a bank.
???? ANY THOUGHTS?

Do they add the 0.97 to your balance later? In North America, they charge 1.95 - then give you a 4 code to put in - then they credit your account with 1.95

I also now add my bank account, now they ask me to verify deposits, but first they want to send these deposits to my bank account which is Halifax current bank account, there is a field "bank account holder name" in paypal when confirming deposits, what should I add there? My real name or my stealth name?

I think they will add 0.97 to the balance, but there is no place to enter 4 Digit code if it will ever come to entro pay statement! So what is the point of charging 0.97 then?

I am a bit stunned at this thread, guys you have to add a card AND a bank to UK paypal.

ok, this thread needs clipping as its not correct. OP was asking about verify paypal with vcc, I think my answer was not clear, what I meant to say is you verify your VCC on paypal by adding it and getting expuse. That verifies that you own the vcc. It then can be used as a back up or main fees source or funds for buying.

In UK though if you want to actually verify the paypal in order to attach it to seller account, you must add bank. If you want to withdraw you need to add a bank.

When people say the word "VERIFY" I have always assumed it means to turn an unverified pp account into a verified pp account ready to be attached to an ebay seller account. It appears there is some abberances in syntax? Bit confusing

Ok so now it's clear obviously we need to add a bank account to become verified on pp, my question is still remains open:
When I add my bank, I type in the stealth name, however my bank is open on my real name, so then pp ask me to send 2 small deposits to confirm the bank and become verified, when I click confirm bank they ask me to send deposits and there is a field "Account holder name"
THE QUESTION IS WHAT SHOULD I TYPE THERE? MY REAL NAME OR MY STEALTH NAME?
OBVIOUSLY IF I TYPE MY REAL NAME PP CAN HUNT ME DOWN AGAIN, SO IF I TYPE MY STEALTH NAME WILL THE DEPOSITS COME TO MY BANK ACCOUNT?

No, they dont. Yet again, the newbies slip in with half baked info and stuff up threads.

Those of us here for ages always used to say use entropay to verify paypal to start the stealth account.

Lifting limits (like the £1900) was always expressed differently. And that should still be the case.

If that could be maintained, then neither cortex, oompappa or me would have problems.

Part of the trouble is that people have an aversion to reading threads AND jump into a thread with 'their' topic that is not always the same.:juggle: :rant:

Oh and one last question, can paypal somehow figure out who I am through my bank account?
I'am not going to add money to pp from my bank so I'am just asking if there is any other options for them to hunt me down through my bank?

If you use the same bank account numbers they will.;)

Some of the banks are known to exchange info.

Behave, run the account well and you should have little to fear from paypal :spy:

No I will use one bank account per one pp.
I'am using Halifax current account, any info about them?
And how about data protection law? Doesn't it applies to bank?

Might apply to a bank. But paypal pays little attention to it.

You're making it worse case scenario. Run the account well, give good service, dont annoy paypal.

Some users have Halifax. I no longer use them. :pop2:

yes, halifax usually accepts different names.

my original answer was back in 2009, I was virtually a newb then!
so buyer account does not need bank but for seller account add bank.

Link your verified PayPal account to your eBay account.

entropay doesnt verify paypal account in the UK it may have in the past but it doesnt anymore

well not for me anyway and i have tried it with 3 stealth accounts

i have however now got my first verified paypal stealth account by adding a bank account

i also have found to now sell on ebay in UK you need a verified paypal account before you can sell as i tried to sell before my paypal deposits were banked and it wouldnt allow me

the deposits have banked today i entered into paypal i am now verified for paypal and ebay so i can finally sell



i think there was confusion in this post regarding entropay cards to verify your account i think many people including myself were under the impression you can open as many paypal accounts as you like and verify them all with differnt entropay cards

the truth is you cant you need bank accounts to verify now like i said earlier it may have been ok in the past but it doesnt look like it anymore

i used stealth name for bank and i am using santander all come back ok deposits were sent and verified on paypal

What kind of problems have you had though?

By the way, adding a bank to PayPal to verify is actually the norm.

i have just created a paypal account and it asks for a bank account to verify and not enropay prepaid credit card which is on paypal

add a bank to verify pp.....

i thought it was the norm but this thread and some of the things written are a bit misleading

people including myself have been led to think you can verify a paypal account with an entropay card which i found the idea very appealing because making new cards on entropay is much easier than getting new bank accounts

i havent had any problems as such but i am left wondering why i actually went through all the entropay polava and waiting for deposits to be took

i could have just added a bank account in the first place

^^ Yeah and added your VCC card when you wanted to remove the £1900 limit.
