Bypass AVS Check ?
 

I read that you can change the street name / postcode but the house number needs to be same and it will work
is this true ? if not is there anyway to bypass avs check when linking debit card

Don't know about the UK but in the US I believe its verified based on the zipcode. More strict places base it on both the number of the house AND the zipcode.

All of the digits within an address need to match the card, however all of the text can be changed.

For example, if I had a NatWest debit card registered to:

123 Pudding Lane,

London, E1 1AA

I could use the following address for AVS:

123 Blue Road,

Liverpool, L1 1AA

This will pass the check. If you change anything numeric, the AVS will return a negative result.

This is a generic explanation of how AVS works. Neither Paypal or ebay use the system as you have described it.

Would you care to enlighten us then?

I have always used AVS-based cards in this manner to make purchases without exposing my real details for intangible goods and have never encountered a problem, so whether or not this is how PayPal / eBay use the system, I am going by personal experience.

Nope. :d

What you said is completely correct and will work but it is not how either Paypal or ebay use the AVS system. Do a bit more experimenting. ;)

I asked for the OP's benefit rather than mine, I have no interest in the mechanics of it, for as long as it works this way :ranger:
