Omg this Visa Vanilla card is pissing me off...

Yesterday I bought a $35 dollar Vanilla Visa Card...at the store where I bought it it said all prepaid cards and visa cards will be activate in 24 hours. So yeah it`s been 24 hours and when I try using it via Paypal it keeps giving me that goddamned error saying to use another debit or credit card. It`s been 24 hours and my vanilla visa prepaid card is still not working. I recently tried using in on on e of my paypal accounts still did not work. The paypal account I used is limited, so I can`t close the account or get rid of the card info on the account. Paypal is saying I need my photo id and bank info. But I don`t want to give them my personal info...

Can someone please help me with this problem and I recently tried the card on alertpay and moneybookers still don`t f*cking work.

Can someone please help me resolve this problem so I don;t have to spend any more money on vanill cards. PLus i threw out the receipt of the card from the store..which was a dumbass move.

Can someone someone please help me I would be extremely thankful. :(:( :o

thanks

Check your balance on the card, and tell them if I would be able to use this to add money onto my Paypal..

Just buy the stuff you want without Paypal..

If you have a credit card, why would you need PayPal?

They changed it so you can't put prepaid cards on PayPal.

One's sarcasm is just stupidity to others.

This is normal for accounts that aren't linked to a bank account. They don't like untraceable fraud in their system.



Also, companies can tell when you're using a prepaid card. Just use the card directly with the website you want to purchase something with.

@Drtro @InCognito @Paradise` so what does work with vanilla prepaid cards?..

Order online with the CC directly. =|

I got a prepaid amex card and did this with something I bought online. You just have to avoid trying to use it with paypal.

I mean doesn't having a CC defeat the purpose of PayPal? I only order with PayPal when what I'm ordering exceeds the limit of my CC.

I had this same issue with one of my vanilla visa cards. Most of them worked for PayPal. One of the issues with the Vanilla visa card is there is no cardholder and address linked to it.

Just go to the store /mmz

just take it back and tell em to suck your dick ;S
