need help for entropay verification

ebay007 · #1 06-25-2008

Hi guys,
I just opened an entropay account today, and I succeeded to register a sell account. But when I wanted to verify the paypal account, I've got a problem. Ebay needs the branch loaction, sort code, account number.....those kinds of information. I found 16 digits on my entropay virtual card, but I really don't know which 6 digits are sort code and which 8 digits are account number. Do you have any idea about that?

BTW, I only heared about this forum 2 days ago, apart from eating and sleeping time, I spent all my time on this forum. This is the most useful websit I've ever seen. Cheers aspkin, cheers modee,cheers for all my ebay colleagues.

Entropay is a creditcard (Virtual) it is not a bank account.

A bank account is somewhere like Barclays, Halifax, Lloyds TSB etc etc where you keep your money!!

If you have a bank account on your bank card the sort code will be XX-XX-XX (X) Being a number and account number is usualy 6 digits next to the sort code.

Credit card is a card with credit on (Banks Lending you money)

Entropay is a virtual creditcard which you can load and use online for saftey, hiding your details from sellers. Hope this helps. Any more probs give us a tinkle.

Thank you very much for such detailed replys,Greg2414,Nokia6600.
I've already got an bank account from HSBC and added it to my paypal account. But I was considering to get another paypal account to sell some quite high risk goods. you gays must know this

It seems I have to apply another bank account. Is there any other solutions?

Im in the same boat as the oringial poster now.

Is it safe to put my bank details in the verification form as thats surely linked to my banned account?

itruk · #5 06-26-2008

Thats what i thought!
Done all the other steps, I've just opened up a Entropay account and added it to my Paypal but as i want it verified they ask me for the branch name, sort code etc... Im stuck again!

greg2414 · #8 06-26-2008

The SOLUTION is get another bank account, very easy to do and get. If you have online banking with hsbc apply for a savings account easy!.

Thank you greg2414. I have a hsbc saving account.

greg2414 · #10 06-26-2008

open another then!"

ebay007 · #11 06-26-2008

Got It, Thanks.

itruk · #12 06-26-2008

ebay007 - Which savings account did you go for?

I'm also with HSBC and currently don't have a savings account and couldn't figure out which was a decent one to go for (cash isa, e-ISA) etc....

It will just be used for the money from ebay sales and then transfered accross to my main HSBC account. So i can't have any transfer limits on it etc.

Cheers

Though if you keep opening bank accounts dont even think of ever getting a decent mortgage and a new house

greg2414 · #14 06-26-2008

Matt, i think you need to get facts straight. Savings account's do not go against anything on your credit report.

mattcafc · #15 06-27-2008

I think it is you who needs to read what is posted more.

Yes thats a bank account, not a savings account suggest, effects credit ratings.

To which I said

"Though if you keep opening bank aco****s"

Again no mention of the subsequence savings accounts that will be open once the initial bank account is opened.

Sorry abt the double post. I'm holding an Indian PP acc and have linked my bank acc and successfully withdrew some $$ but to lift limitations I need to add a CC.

I am thinking which 1 wud be a better VCC for a Indian PP acc? I hear entropay VCC has 1 year expiry period Or shud I use HDFC Netsafe VCC?

Plz answer lukin for ur answer...

GreenBean · #19 07-02-2009

Can give you no bad answer about HDFC netsafe except it is 'messy' to use. You have to download stuff to get the expuse numbers. May be OK since it is very popular in India. I prefer entropay.

Hi GreenBean tnx for answering my qn so quick. Much appreciated. Cud u b kind enough to answer these qns as well?

It seems entropay wud suit me best as it has a 1 yr expiry period. wud shortly get my entropay acc. So can I generate any number of VCCs from 1 Entropay acc paying 20$ once. Or shud I pay 20$ each time to generate a VCC?

Also can you tell when HDFC Netsafe cards expire?

oompaloompa · #21 07-03-2009

entropay you initially load $20 minimum, then make as many as you can from that amount, always load at least $6 per card initally, you can transfer balances over $2 from card to card within account, if you have left-overs

GreenBean · #22 07-03-2009

Checked with entropay about amount of funds for second and subsequent cards
Here's part of their reply dated 6/3/2009:

You may fund your second EntroPay card the same as you do the default card.
Just select the card from the drop down list.
The minimum payment USD20 on all cards.
If you require further assistance please do not hesitate to contact us.
