Problems with my debit card details?

talksoccer

Hi all,

Im trying to sell on ebay but everytime i type in my settings, i keep getting a message telling me that its not acceptable. I have a visa electron card which is accepted and its on a current account which im not sure will work, any ideas?

Not sure I completely understand what you are trying to do.

Could you take me through it step by step?

Thanks!

I understand what you are trying to do talksoccer - you mean signing up to eBay?

It might not let you use your VE card if you are under 18, as it can check how old you are, and I am sure you are aware, there are absolutly NO under 18s on eBay! ::) ::)

You should try using a parents card to register. Nothing will ever be charged to it but it will just stay on file so they know who you are. Just make sure you don't setup a direct debit on it to pay fees.

Thanks for the help im 18 but i think i noticed whats wrong, they ask for this 3 digit number at the back of the card and for some reason, i dont have this. Any idea if there is a way around this or any other ways i can try it?

it should be some tiny little numbers on the bit your signature is on,you only need the last 3 of these. If you havent got them, you could contact your card company and ask them why not.

You probs will have a security number on your card (unless it is an old one!!) it will be on your signature strip, in a pale grey ink perhaps? looks like pencil!! if you haven't then get onto your bank!

Can you not pay by cheque? I am sure I had that option when I first signed up!!
