thought you might enjoy sharing the live chat with ebay on the earlier posted subject: hoops to jump though b4 you can use your ebay gift card: here ya go:
Next paypal insists I give them a credit card number. I supply them with a valid credit card number (AGAIN in spite of the fact that this seems a rediculous requirement considering the fact that I am covering the entire payment with the gift card).
NOPE, NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Paypal now wants me to supply my checking account info as well. Oh, and wait a few days to verify.
All this TO USE A $25 EBAY GIFT CARD??? Forget about it. I've done MORE than enough verifying all ready. There should be a disclaimer on the gift card disclosing the requirements of use. I'm g

No. I am still here. I am reading what you have typed in.
joem3936
oh, yes it is long. i apologize.
Gemma Te.
That's alright. I am sorry to hear that you are having difficulties using your gift card.
joem3936
any ideas?
Gemma Te.
One of the requirements in using eBay giftcard is to pay through PayPal.
Gemma Te.
I understand how this is frustrating you. May I ask what I can do to help you with this?
joem3936
yes... as i said i signed up for a paypal account AND added a credit card. paypal still does not process the gift card payment. they want checking account info and wait a couple days to verify.
joem3936
i would like to use the paypal acct i just signed up for to "process" the gift card payment
joem3936
please... give me a reasonable answer. i am reading posts on the commmunity blog and it does not look good.

restore my faith

so far i have spent over an hour just trying to use a gift card.... and it looks as though i will not be allowed to use it any time soon. does that sound reasonable to you?
Gemma Te.
I am sorry to hear that you would need to provide a checking account to open up a PayPal account and you needed to wait for the verification. I'd be happy to assist you on this concern. Aside from the above-mentioned concern, is there anything else that I can help you with?
joem3936
no. thanks
joem3936
wait... one last quest i suppose
Gemma Te.
Go ahead.
joem3936
i supplied my credit card info as verification. there is a $1.00 and a $1.95 charge on the card. what is the reason for the checking account verification IN ADDITION?
joem3936
and, btw... i do not recall an answer to my previous question: i have been working on requirements to use a gift card for over one hour and it appears it will not be enough. does this seem reasonable to you?
