Yes there is a way to buy things on  eBay.  they have a green dot card Or money pak card to. You Can buy from wal-mart  or kmart.. But there is a fee it's like $4.99 you can also reload it. But there to is a limit on that card . They still say you need to have a bank account or credit card to your account. So that they can id who you really are ?? It 's to the point . That if you don't have a bank account or a credit card link to your account. Then you can't use eBay anymore. It never use to be that way. It really is unfair  for a lot of people Out here. That don't have a bank account or credit cards to use Because of past credit problems. And if you read a lot of these topic on here, Ooh  you will  see that there are a lot of them that have added there bank account's and credit cards. And they to are having all kinds of problems with there account's. Being over charge or not getting there money back to there account's. It's a mess  and   I wouldn't   add a bank account or my credit card to eBay or papal. They don't know what they are doing.  and if you ever need to get a hold of them  good luck with that to . it's hard and  you get a lot of run around.  So yes no matter what you do there will be some kind of  limit hold on your account. Until you add what they want! And even then some of them that have added what they want. Still are having problems With eBay and papal. ... View more

OH YOU NEED TO CALL PAPAL THEN PAPAL WOULD SAY OH YOU NEED TO CALL EBAY ,ANYWAY NOW THAT I GOT MY REFUND IN MY ACCOUNT THEY WON'T LET ME USE IT THEY HAVE PUT A SPENDING LIMIT ON MY ACCOUNT AND NOW SAY I NEED TO ADD A BANK ACCOUNT OR A CREDIT CARD ACCOUNT TO OPEN MY LIMIT. I COULD NOT BELIEVE  MY EARS. WHY DO I NEED TO ADD ALL THIS WHEN IT'S MY MONEY IS IN MY ACCOUNT HAVE HAD THIS ACCOUNT FOR OVER TEN YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD TO ENTER ANY OF MY BANK INFO I ALWAYS PAID FOR THINGS  MY WITH A MONEY ORDER . OR POSTAL MONEY ORDER  EVEN A MONEY GRAM. NOW THERE'S A HOLD ON MY ACCOUNT. UNTIL I ADD ONE OF THESE THINGS. THEY SAY IT'S SO THEY CAN HAVE VERIFICATION OF YOU  .AND IT'S TO PROTECT YOU FROM IDENTITY FRAUD. I WOULD THINK THERE WOULD BE A BETTER WAY TO DO THAT. GOOD LUCK. ONCE THEY GET YOUR MONEY .YOU WON'T GET TO SPEND IT. UNTIL YOU GIVE OUT YOUR PERSONAL BANK INFO OR CREDIT CARD THIS IS NOT RIGHT. IF YOU HAVE THE MONEY IN YOUR ACCOUNT WHY CAN'T YOU USE IT . ...

I THINK YOU MUST WORK FOR THEM ? SOME OF US DON'T FEEL YOU SHOULD HAVE TO GIVE OUT YOUR BANK ACCOUNT OR YOUR CREDIT CARD JUST TO OPEN UP AN ACCOUNT.! EBAY NOW OFFERS A THING CALLED GREEN DOT CARD ANY ONE CAN USE IT. TO PAY FOR THINGS ON EBAY . BUT IT WILL COST YOU $4.99 JUST TO LOAD IT EACH TIME YOU BUY SOMETHING WITH IT AND THEY ALSO PUT A LIMIT ON HOW MUCH YOU CAN USE IT. THIS SHOULD BE ALL THEY NEED AND THERE ARE OTHER WAYS EBAY AND PAPAL CAN GET YOUR VERIFICATION OF WHO YOU ARE DON'T GIVE ME THIS SHI@@#@ ABOUT HOW IT'S PROTECTED? IDENTITY FRAUD IS EVERY WHERE . IT'S A CHANCE WE TAKE WHEN EVER PAY FOR ANYTHING WITH A BANK CARD OR CREDIT CARD. EBAY AND PAPAL  WANT THESE THINGS BECAUSE THEY MAKE THERE MONEY OFF OF FEES. IF YOU TAKE THE TIME TO READ THE POST IN HERE YOU WILL FIND THERE ARE OF LOT OF US  THAT HAVE PUT IN THERE BANK ACCOUNT OR A CREDIT CARD ACCOUNT. AND ARE NOW  HAVENING PROBLEMS WITH PAPAL AND EBAY PUTTING HOLDS ON ACCOUNTS OR NOT GETTING MONEY BACK IN TO OUR ACCOUNTS . AND IT CAN TAKE MOS TO GET YOUR MONEY BACK. IF YOU ARE DOING SO WELL WITH PAPAL AND EBAY THEN YOU ARE VERY LUCKY. MOST OF US ARE NOT ! THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME OTHER WAY TO GET YOUR ID VERIFICATION. AND IT'S NOT BY GIVING THEN A BANK ACCOUNT OR A CREDIT CARD. THERE IS NO SAFE PLACE. THEY SEEM TO BE GETTING IN TO JUST ABOUT ANYTHING ANY MORE. SO IF YOU REALLY THINK EBAY SO SAFE FOR ALL YOUR PERSONAL INFO ,THEN YOU GO FOR IT. BUT FOR ME NEVER AGAIN  WILL I ADD PERSONAL BANK OR CREDIT CARD INFO   ... View more

IT SURE SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE DEFENDING THEM .I  MUST SAY I DO AGREE WITH AMANDA .I ON THE OTHER HAND DO HAVE A HAVE A CREDIT CARD AND YES I HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS .WITH EBAY AND PAY PAL. I DIDN'T GET MY ITEM AND YET HE GOT MY MONEY .IT TOOK ME THREE MOS TO GET MY MONEY BACK ON TO MY CARD . EVERY TIME I CALLED I GOT SOMEONE NEW . EACH TIME I WAS TOLD OH NO PROBLEM .WELL FIX IT RIGHT NOW MONEY WILL BE BACK ON YOUR ACCOUNT WITH IN 24 HOURS EACH TIME I CALLED THEY COULDN'T FINE MY CASE . THEN IT WAS THE CASE WAS CLOSE HAD TO FIGHT TO GET MY MONEY BACK AFTER THREE MOS THEY GOT IT RIGHT IF I WAS THIS KID MOM . I WOULD HAVE HIM OR HER CALL THE PERSON THAT GAVE THE GIFT  CARD . AND TELL THEM THAT HE OR SHE CAN'T USE IT .THIS IS  UNFAIR OF EBAY . TO MAKE YOU SET UP YOUR  ACCOUNT THIS WAY. NOT EVERY ONE OUT THERE HAS A CREDIT CARD OR EVEN A BACK CARD .TO PAY FOR THINGS WITH . AND WITH ALL THE HIGH FEES ON THE CREDIT  CARDS. I WOULDN'T USE ONE ANY MORE . THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO PAY FOR THINGS ON EBAY YOU COULD PAY WITH A MONEY ORDER. BUT THEN EBAY HAS TOLD THERE SELLERS NOT TO TAKE MONEY ORDERS ANYMORE.BUT SOME STILL DO ANY WAY.EBAY  AND PAY PAL DON'T  MAKE  ANY MONEY OFF THE MONEY ORDERS . THEY ALSO HAVE THE NEW EBAY MONEY CARD BUT THEN THEY ALSO CHARGE YOU $4.99 TO LOAD MONEY ON TO IT EACH TIME YOU USES IT. AND THEY ALSO PUT A LIMIT TO HOW MANY TIMES  YOU CAN USE IT. SO THE BEST ADVICE I WOULD GIVE IS DON'T USE EBAY THEY ARE IN IT TO MAKE MONEY IF THEY CAN'T MAKE MONEY AND YES THERE ARE A LOT OF US ON HERE THAT HAVE NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH EBAY AND PAY PAL WITH OR WITH OUT A CARD.AS FAR HAS YOUR ADVICE SKIER. WELL LOL I WOULDN'T BE SO QUICK TO COMMENT ON HERE AND DEFEND EBAY AND PAY PAL. UNLESS YOU HAVE BEEN THERE ..IT REALLY GET'S ME. WHEN PEOPLE LIKE YOU THINK YOU KNOW IT ALL. MY ADVICE TO YOU IS IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN THERE OR HAD TO DEAL WITH WHAT SOME OF US HAD TO DEAL WITH. DON'T COMMENT ON IT BECAUSE YOU HAVE YOU REALLY HAVE NO CLUE. WHAT'S GOING ON HERE. I WISH YOU ALL WELL AS FAR AS EBAY GOES I WOULDN'T BUY  ANYTHING FROM THEM. UNLESS THEY CHANGE THERE WAYS ON HOW THEY WORK WITH THERE CUSTOMERS  AND THERE ACCOUNTS. YES THEY DO RIP SOME PEOPLE OFF ON HERE. AND NO YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO QUALIFY TO BUY THINGS OFF EBAY .IT WAS NOT SET UP FOR JUST CREDIT CARD USE ONLY THEY ARE TRYING TO  CHANGE  IT TO BE THAT WAY. BUT IN THE PAST IT WAS NEVER SET UP THAT WAY. I KNOW I HAVE HAD AN ACCOUNT WITH THEM FOR TEN YEARS   ... View more
