    Right lads and lassies having issues with Paypal and my credit card so was thinking of using 3V vouchers instead...so I just have a few questions:

    Do I need to register a 3V card/account to my paypal account or can I just load the money straight into my paypal account off the voucher?!

    The item I want to buy is €430 can I use a combination of 3V vouchers to do this?! I'm not clear on the €350 limit!

    Thats all for now....other Q's might come to me....thanks for any help!

    The card must be registered with Paypal and it works exactly like a credit card, so no loafing of funds into the account is possible. You can't use more than one card for a single payment, so €430 isn't going to work. You wouldn't be advised to spend that much on a 3V voucher anyway, as you have no protection with it.

    Get the issues with you credit card sorted, or don't use Paypal.

    The problem with this is that when you buy the voucher it is basicly a credit card you can only register , i think, about 5 cards on your account over its life.

    Right thanks!!!

    If I was to add another card to the account am I right in thinking I'd have to wait for it to be varified before I could use it for that high amount?!

    I hate to bump threads but does anyone know the answer to the above question?!

    €430 is greater than the limit of a 3V card, so verification is irrelevant.

    Ok by add another card I meant another credit card!

    I think the limit is about €1000 for unverified cards.
