Might be. I had trouble receiving until I added a credit card to the receiving account.

ok i must have taken that and/or to mean just or. THanks I'll try that and see.

Thanks for that data point...for some reason I don't remember reading about people having those problems...but I just kept checking my account limits and looked like everything was good to go :confused:

New question: ( I don't think this has been asked before..but sorry if it has)
If I have Serve direct deposit information as the funding bank account, could I also use the serve debit card number as the Credit card on file as well?

You want to use Serve Amex card as a debit card on file with AP? I don't think that will work, most debit cards are V/MC plus AP has been know to not work well with prepaids.

For what purpose?

For where it says the amazon payments account needs a verified credit card attached to send or receive payments? I made a spare account but I don't have access to any real credit cards for that account at this moment. I added a visa rebate card from staples that had that account name on the card...using that for now...but I guess I'm becoming confused.

I thought I read about people pushing Target Prepaid GC through AP, since it doesn't work with BB. And I know it's a debit card but I was actually trying to use it as Credit card on file so that my send limits would be lifted?

If you have a Citi card you may virtually have a solution to the missing real credit card. That can lead to many happy returns for the same account.:cool:

I wish, but nope:(

Looks like they SP Experian.
That's how they're verifying accounts.

It was meant to be that in the wiki was the exact question that you asked. Instead of copying/pasting it word for word for you, I pointed you to where to find the answer.

AP account is blocked
 

Amazon blocked my account last week. I have been doing AP for over 2 years now and have been always very careful. Always used this structure: A -> B -> C -> A (3 different people, different credit card and bank accounts). Never had a problem with AP before last week. They called me to inform that the account is now blocked. They refused initially to elaborate why it was blocked. They did tell me that the payment paten over 24 months suggests that I am just trying to collect miles. They wouldn’t elaborate of how they arrived to this conclusion but as we talked the woman on the phone said something interesting – she said that I have been using 90% of my credit card payment limit every month since I started using Amazon payments. It seems that the % of the credit card payment limit used is a factor Amazon uses to flag folks doing MS. In my case the block is permanent so it is a bit too late but maybe for the rest of you this info would be helpful.

Note to self - don't constantly send $1k. Got it. Thanks. (And sorry that they shut you down after so much time.)

Yes I understood what you said, I was saying I did read the wiki, and I misread that part..I read it as 'or' not the and/or that is there. Thanks for redirecting me again. That wasn't the actual problem because I wasn't sending $1000 so the $499 should have went through at that point because it showed my limit as $500... The real prob was the card that I was sending from...I typed in the wrong expiration date :rolleyes: As soon as I fixed that everything is as it should be. and my receive and sending limits on receiving account is $1000 now. Thanks everyone!

Are you meaning don't take advantage of the full $1K or are you saying split the transaction?

I always split mine and no issues here. Always a different amount every month.
