I am pretty sure you are aware if you do that, you risk paypal mark accounts verified with this cards as shady. While they can't forbid use of card since they can't forbid Visa nor Master, they can mark accounts as shady and not let you spend any PP balance from it. Or let it spend in big confirmed stores. That is the price you pay when some VCCs are too often used to verify PP accounts which later gets limited. Since my psychical card seems to be lost in mail, I will wait a little bit more, and order virtual (was not an option when I was ordering). I would attach it to my already verified PP, but use it sometimes for purchases instead of my actual Visa attached to my PP. I would like virtual cards not having a preload option. That will discourage Pakistani/Chinese sellers of VCC to use them. All of you know Vietnamese VCCs you can buy for 5-15$ and verify PP. They do work, but flag account for long time. I would be happy e-coin cards stay on course where their VCCs will be used for PP verification from people that actually need them, and not massively bought by shady dealers. This are just my two cents though...
these are very valid points, mate, thanks for sharing.
Is there a reason PP would treat plastic and virtual cards differently?
