Anonymous Prepaid Credit card?

Whether you're in the UK, or in any other country, I wouldn't recommend creating a false name or identity. What you're suggesting might not be fraud (or in some other way illegal), but if anything AT ALL goes wrong in the future, it might be construed as fraud.

I don't know what the laws are like in the UK, but I do know that eBay requires that you use a real name. In the US, they require a Social Security number as a proof that you "exist". I'm sure there's a similar requirement in the UK.

As others have mentioned, one way to do this would be to find a close friend or relative (who's surname is different from yours), and open an entirely new eBay account in his/her name. Of course, you would also have to use a credit card (or a Paypal account, or whatever) that is ALSO in your friend's name.

Another idea---depending on what kind of selling/buying volume you're doing on eBay---would be to incorporate yourself. You would actually begin an operating business, and you would "hire" one or more people to work on your behalf. Any payments or debits from eBay transactions would be in the name of your company, not in your own name. The problem is (here in the US, anyway), it costs some money to incorporate, AND there is lots of paperwork involved (registering with the Internal Revenue Service), AND there is some waiting involved (you have to wait until the IRS processes your information, before you can proceed to open accounts etc. under your business name).

A third option is that you could simply wait-out the suspension period at eBay. There are other online auction resources (smaller than eBay, but they do exist). It's up to you to decide how much of your work (income) is through eBay, and whether you can afford to wait.

A social security number is a common security question for most financial institutions when applying for a credit card. They don't care what your age is,specially if you are applying online. If you don't have a social security number,then it would be best for you to go to your local bank personally. They accept other types of identification instead of social security cards,nowadays. If you want to buy something without saying what it is on your account, you will be better off opening a paypal account. If you fund your account with a debit or credit card, it will only show in your statement as "Paypal Xfer"

You can get a prepaid card in the UK called 3V. It is a prepaid visa card that you top up at PayPal sites. I have one in a made up name.

You hand the card over with the amount you want to put on, plus a £3.50 handling fee. They email you the 16 digit card number plus 3 digit security code. A lot of shops don't know about the handling charge so never ask for it, and I'm not going to tell them!!.

You could try the other prepaid cards but they do require ID. The one I use is Titanium cash plus available from Money Shop.

I'm sure if you scan a utility bill into the computer along with other ID and what pops out, well..........

All prepaid card companies require you to give your ssn # + valid address . . . its because of patriot's act after 9/11 they dont want terrorists to carry money in a card and going overseas. . ..

However, as long as you have a new cc #, eBay will let you sign up for a new account. (Paypal will not though!). Best thing to do is probably get someone you know to get one for you?

If I were you, I would first:

Contact ebay dispute resolution and try to get your account reinstated.

If that didn't work, I would suggest talking to a friend or relative to sell under their account, with their knowledge and permission.

Edited to add after reading your additional details- OMG that is just WRONG. What a pain in the butt...too bad everything is automated like that. I definitely suggest using a close friend or family member to establish an account instead.

Trying to obtain credit using a false name or address is fraud.

Contact eBay and attempt to correct the issue that caused you to be banned. If you did 'nothing wrong' then there shouldn't be an issue. If you were reported for failing to pay, false listings, scamming buyers, then you should provide documentation that you followed their rules. (You listed things accurately, you shipped promptly, you worked out disputes honestly, etc.)

Ask a family member nicely to use theirs, in their address. They'd have to really trust you, mind.
