    You've not been accepted yet..... sorry but wait cos you may get declined yet (hope u dont) and card aint gold, its jet black with grey speckles - i've posted it here:

    Hows you doing? :D


    Cheers for this - I notice a couple of days after they searched me on Eq they searched on Exp - for money laundering reg's.

    Its weird how they search you , then send a credit agreement out then may decline you!Seems as though the Bank of Ireland do things weird!

    Mate, thats what I said wasn;t it? the quote at the top? LOL

    Have you had anything through yet? BOI...

    EBay Question For You's !
    Does anyone know when you register a debit card with EBay they do a dummy purchase for £2.50 too see if card is valid??

    no mate they credit 2 amounts to your bank and you enter these amounts into verification screen...... Or is this to verify bank account? They done that with me, and never authorised my CC....

    ahh yes, well eBay don't pre-auth it no, they will just invoice you. Click My Account; Sales and invoices will show you amount due etc (only for sellers - not buyers)
