Entropay
 

Hello all hope you are well...does entropay work with ebay uk...as I tried one and it would not work...TIA

it ought to work, explain what went wrong...and what did you do with address settings..

I dont know what went wrong, it just said contact customer services...and would not accept it....does it have to be in ur name or made up...god I am so crap at all of this...lol...

apparently entropay works without needing to change addresses according to some forumers but I still suggest changing the address to match ebay account, do it under account settings.

leave a couple of days after changing address before use, and put at least £3 on the card you are using.

the name on card doesnt matter ...

do they not check it for address match on ****bay...lol...soz

well thats the report of some of the UK coven - me, I always change address..

sorry to seem thick but ur name also i pressume..

no anything number, name, the 29 bus - ebay cant see it they look at house number and postcode if doing address verification (avs) ...

you are not thick, just a trainee witch I mean UK forumer...

thank you..for being so patient with me...

Hi, I have just used an entropay card on Paypal. I create the card with the name on my stealth accounts (this helps me keep track of which card goes with which account).

I don't bother changing the address but I only add to paypal and have paypal account linked to ebay. So best to be on the safe side... If you plan on creating lots of VCC with entropay it might be best not to keep changing address as they may eventually limit your account.

captain, can you expand that last paragraph for me,please? I am afraid I don't understand it :tears:

Sorry if I wasn't clear what I was trying to say lol :)

I don't change my address with Entropay to match my stealth details when I add my card to Paypal. But it may be best to do as oompaloompa suggested and do it to be on the safe side. As I don't use the card on Ebay - only on Paypal - I can't confirm whether it is necessary or not if adding it to Ebay.

The only problem I would foresee is entropay have a habit of restricting accounts if they suspect fraudulant activity and repeatedly changing address might qualify as such,

CaptainJack

Hmm. Gotcha. Interesting. You've had problems with entropay as you said?

I am suprised they still work at all with EBay/PP to be honest.... they seem a very flimsy way to confirm info.

But still they do work for the moment. I wonder how long for though.

I've had my entropay account limited once for creating too many cards.... but it was a simple matter to get it unlocked.

CaptainJack

well actually, I just followed forum advice to match up address, seems though that not matching is ok too as avs isnt used. I tested it the other day...so, whilst I agree entropay is flimsy, it is no worse than any other bank issued card you use....

In all honesty ebay/paypal would have banned vcc if they didnt want them used.....

Captainjack is right. I have used my entropay card to verify my paypal and ebay account leaving the address different then the one on my ebay/paypal accounts. Surprisingly it works. Also one more thing. You know how entropay send you there invoices pretty late. But, if you send them en email, they will give you the paypal/ebay code to verify your ebay/paypal account.

It was "getaroundebay" that made the point about not having to change address on Entropay. I am glad that captainjack and yozalo have confirmed this is also the case as I didn't want to risk it on the basis of just one member's claim (no disrespect getaround).

It really does appear that UK Paypal's systems are not quite as "state of the art" as they make people believe:

1. They tell people the bank account name & paypal account name MUST match - NOT TRUE.
2. They tell you the address details must match when doing credit card validation - NOT TRUE. I thought the majority of credit / debit card validation systems operated a house number / name & postcode verification.

I'm setting up a new Paypal account over the next week or so. I will post here to confirm the "address" part, when it's done.

ATB.

^^^entropay can be used several ways. :ranger:

It's not so much PayPal as Entropay..... If i tried adding my personal credit cards to my accounts it wouldn't work without the correct biling info as the card company rejects the paypal authorisation attempt.

However Entropay don't.... no matter what name and address you enter for your billing information.

Same with the banks.... it's up to them whether they reject the incomming DD instruction and 9 times out of 10 they don't, whatever name you put on it.

On a side not my entropay account has just been limited untill I provide documents :(

Re: Entropay
 

can I use Entrypay cc for Amazon verification?

Re: Entropay
 

I'm not with Amazon but, as I understand it, Entropay does not work for Amazon. I think you'd need a pre-paid card, such as '3V' as this allows for AVS.

But you'd need a senior member of the forum to confirm this :)

Re: Entropay
 

Can I just ask if registering for entropay do you put in same DOB as stealth account?
