I never let my ebay fees get over $10. I usually pay fees once a week to keep the balance low and keep ebay from auto withdrawing my paypal.

Very good management - paying fees in advance - I don't do it weekly, just once a month however

3V is having major issues at the moment - I tried to use PayPoint for a couple of vouchers for £100 each, 3V blocked the shops machine and then when she called, he had me on the phone asking what i needed them for, who told me to do this, blah blah. It was an interrogation!

just going back to this post

I have prime cards in hand, not 'registered'

do they have to be Registered at all before being used for ebay or will they just work now as is?

have just tried it for ebay fee's and it said 'declined'

looks like it has to be registered on the primecard website before use

so would stealth details be used for this or real

if stealth are used and they do a quick 'online check' on the details its not gonna work is it?? this company is officially part of 'mastercard'


theres a number to call to 'activate the card' on the shop receipts

have called and it says there already Activated


jeez!!

whys nothing straight forward!!!!!!!!!!

Why not use 3v or Entropay to pay fees? Easy to set up EP

[johnquango]

I have took the advice from 'Wired' in this thread, who recommended this particular card and said it works.....

[johnquango]

looks like this aint gonna work!! when registering the card on prime website in stealth details, it doesn't load, nowtheres a red flag saying to phone customer services!!

bet they have blocked the card now to! good job I tried on the lowest value card first that only has couple of £ on it

sick of readin duff info on this board now....


looks like ebay aint getting what there owed!

[wired]

Its not duff info, as I have replied to your PM's, you have to register the card in Stealth details. Why would you think that you wouldnt? AVS security checks address and names.

Prime works perfectly.

3V no longer accepts large purchases. In fact they block the shops paypoint units now. Happened to a few of us. I got an interrogation on the phone by them asking for £150 3v coupon and they denied it.

The Prime card works perfectly, the OP didnt register the name or address

[johnquango]

ive tried registering it in the stealth details

page just kept freezing, then after a few times closing the page and opening it again its now come up with a webpage with all the stealth details still entered in the boxes with a Red Flag at the top asking to call customer services...

Yes, so call them. There wont be a problem. I dont know why you are scared about it, its just a PRepay card you have already bought!

[wired]

Might be worth taking a valium first though

[johnquango]

and what do I say on the phone when they start asking 'awkward questions' they've obv done some kind of online credit check and found NO RECORD of the stealth name and address / credit history etc

also its worth noting that the guy in the shop today told me that they have 'just now' changed this set up, and it must be reg etc because of 'fraud possibilities'....

[wired]

They havent at all. They even state they dont do credit checks and they dont ask awkward questions. Just the details you entered.

Stop panicking seriously. This isnt PayPal.

[wired]

Just say, oh tried to register my card i got for my birthday, said to give you a call...they try to get you to upgrade, just say no.

Valium first though buddy or you'll have a heart attack.

[johnquango]

they must be running a 'credit check' when you click confirm the page loads for few seconds then juts returns back to 'registration details' again every time

again followed shortly by Red Flag and phone number to call

[wired]

As i said, call them. I had to.Took thirty seconds on the phone.

No they dont run a credit check as explained in their terms and conditions.

If you cant help yourself mate, i cant help you either

[johnquango]

f##k it, had enough for today

will try again tomorrow and if it don't work then i'll just register in real details and cash them out

weres the diazepams..... lol

[wired]

So you didnt call them?

The site WONT work for you tomorrow, or the next day or the day after, nor will it work for 'REAL' details (as this will make NO difference) - because they are asking you to call them. I expect its to check that you are not an African prince or something.

You are creating a problem in your mind that dosent exist. Granted dealing with PAyPal and EBay does that to a person, but what you are trying to do is as simple as going to buy a loaf of bread. If you cant do that, Stealth definitely isnt for you

I find it very odd you wont call them for the thirty seconds required to get the card up and running. Very weird.

whats 'weird' about it? im concerned that they might start asking security questions etc, or 'we don't have any records for you mr **** at this address

the online registration feature is on their website for Registering the card online

it aint working, which tells me its a problem with the persons details entered

IT SHOULD WORK fine doing it online...


also they will know the Exact Location/Shop the card was purchased from, which is a Long Way from the persons address im trying to Reg it in.

[wired]

Well fine mate, do what you want, have a stress breakdown from it, your call!

I told you what would happen as i do it every month for my fees. The website always crashes, and you call them, its sorted with no questions. There are no security questions (as ive told you) and they have no ability to check records, (as i have told you) and which they state themselves in there terms and conditions which you evidently havent bothered reading.

Creating a problem which dosent exist.

Cant help anymore. Hope you get those fees sorted. Good luck.
