Using a Pre-Paid Vanilla VISA Card on EBAy

[macdonaldal613]

For years I have used Vanilla VISA pre-paid cards to purchase items on EBay to avoid using my personal card.

Now it wont let me...simple purchase of $25 and the Card has at least $450 (CDN)

VISA says ok on theie end....Ebay customer service was no help.

Not sure if you have a PayPal account but that's what I did with mine. I also had a Vanilla PrePaid card that wouldn't work here until I added it to PayPal, chose PayPal to pay and within PayPal used that prepaid card as my method. Just add it under "wallet" in PayPal.

A bit of a pain I know but it was an easy work around for me since I've had my PayPal account for many years.
