Stealth PayPal question on VCC and withdrawals
 

After recently being suspended from PayPal, I plan to start afresh with a stealth acc. Naturally, I have read a stealth guide but I still have a couple of questions.

1. For withdrawals, I'll be using one of my UK accounts. Lloyd's linked to the suspended PayPal is a no go. So I'm left with 2 options to link a UK account. I have either a revolut current account or a nationwide flex current account. I'm unsure which would be safest bet to withdraw into from PayPal as I understand both may take issue with paypal/current acc names not matching up. Any advise on which of the 2 is safer from experience?

2. VCC my options are Revolut VCC or maybe seeking some sort of Vanilla gift card in the UK assuming that can be registered in my stealth name that would be the better option?

Any advice appreciated. Cheers!

1. High Street bank > any online only bank

2. Vcc not needed for PayPal if you have a verified bank attached. If you want to add one then Vanilla gift card is a good option. I've never used revolut.

I have never had a problem with Nationwide accepting paypal payments into either a flex account or online savers. Some have said they have though. I wouldn't use the current account, open a saver online and use that for paypal.

Vanilla Gift Cards can be registered in stealth name and address and you will receive the code from paypal within minutes. You would need to go into the statement part of the vanilla account, select pending payments and hit the refresh button to view it. Confirm on paypal and you will get the 'You have lifted your limits' email from them.
