Prepaid cards for registering an Ebay/Paypal account

If you really want to beat PayPal you need to convince a country to issue an electronic version of their currency. Once real currency moves on-line the rules of the game are changed.

That would be great and it could happen one day but for now paypal must be exposed and killed off. My solicitor is checking the legality of what Ebay are doing. There is a chance that it is illegal to insist sellers offer paypal as a payment option. Especially as Ebay own Paypal.

The above is a US case.

You've done well to survive 3 years trading on a new account while suspended on another. Most people get caught within a couple of years at most.

Does the card also work with paypal or have you had any issues with the verification procedure?

Yes it works with Paypal I just never have a problem, I have 2 accounts with ebay one for selling and one for buying and never have a problem. Everything is linked to Paypal and verified and works as it should.

I doubt a pre-paid card will work, To verify an account they put a few p into it and you need to check the amounts
and enter that to complete the verification. A prepay card wont allow that will it. Minimum topup amount and topup fees?


I did read someone said they couldnt link their paypal prepay car to paypal for payment. Or maybe my memory is going?

I used a prepay card which was seperate from my bank account to authorize my ebay paypal account 3 years ago and it works fine
