Rules of Reserve Bank of India almost kills the Indian bloggers and freelancers since 2011. Paypal is the most common and widely accepted payment all over the world.But yesterday when I bought web hosting in Lastchance Black Monday sell from Hostmetro, i faced the problem first time.
Getting paid and making payment from india has become difficult when Paypal shows error in adding a United Bank of India VISA in my paypal account
The bank that issued your card didn’t approve this transaction. Please contact the card issuer’s customer service department if you have any questions. Or you can add a different card now to continue.
I become helpless at that situation.I have two bank account on SBI and UBI. State Bank of India virtual credit card does not work for international payment.Though as per some internet user ICICI and Axis bank debit card can be added to paypal but i don’t have any of them to give it a try
Searched for United Bank of India visa limitation.But there is no such limitation found on their web documentation in international payment.Asked United Bank of India banking personnel but they can’t do anything.
I become upset for a while and after few seconds I google this problem and found many of paypal user faced the similar problem.But no such solution found from their forum comment.A question stuck on my mind, if paypal india does not support credit card from india then How other bloggers and freelancers from india make a payment during their transaction on dollar or other international currencies?
I know there is alternative of Paypal but Hostmetro only support Payapl , VISA, MASTERCARD, DISCOVER and American Express.I have also tried for VISA payment but the same problem as of paypal found.I can’t ignore the problem.
Indian Blogger Nimish Kumar in Shoutmeloud lightened in a solution but the trick does not work for me.So i tried searching again.
I was thinking is there any virtual method to do the same.Again searching in google works for me.In a discussion forum i found the word “Virtual Credit Card” and search for it.
There is too many virtual credit card provider all over the world.I was looking for which one work for indian user.And this trick worked for me.Found entropy works for indian user.
Finally i have found a new solution for Paypal India User , Virtual Credit Card.
As the sell in Hostmetro will close soon and i have to move immediately.I don’t wait for a single minute. Signed Up for Entropay.
The processes in Entropay is very much easy and convenient.Just too step process.Let see in step by step
1. Go to Entropay Sign Up Page
2. Enter personal details like name,email,dob etc.
3.Click on “Get your card”.
In next step you will proceed to Card Configuration page .You have to add some money in your entropay account.Provided that 4.95% of total add money would be charged by them.
4.Enter Card Details and amount you want to add.
5. Place your order.
After placing your order ,you will be redirected to bank account and Provide bank visa card password will complete the transaction.
Now you have generated your virtual credit card and you can use it to Pay international payment.
Though there is three type of Entropay account but starter is enough for personal use.
You can add your bank account to Entropay account to add fund in your account which have 1% less transaction charges.
Please let me know in comment box is there another method for indian user to make international payment.
[Update 22/04/2016]
State Bank of India now started allowing international payment on their international card.I have already applied for their platinum debit card online.You may also apply online.

Hi krishna,Maestro card doesn’t support international transation, so you have to use VISA CARD to add fund in entropay.

when i tries to add bal through visa debt card, i m getting the fallowing error..
Your Transaction Cannot Be Processed
A problem with your credit/debit card is preventing us from transferring money onto your virtual Visa card.
Satyam Baral · Jun 27, 2015 at 11:29 am
Hi Ganesh,
Only ICICI and HDFC and United Bank of India issued visa debit card has been experimented by me.
You may try any one of this.

Few banks in india allow international transaction on their card.Though most of the private bank credi or debit card works fine.If you don’t have that you may try money transfer through online banking.I have tested united bank of india debit card & it’s working.You may try skrill if skrill is available as payment option.

Satyam Baral · Apr 30, 2016 at 7:15 pm

Is it possible to use Virtual cards for PayPal account verification?
Satyam Baral · May 6, 2016 at 12:22 pm
I had tried to verify my paypal with entropay but that didn’t work.Also i had tried to add entropay card with my paypal a/c.But no luck.I think paypal does not support entropay issued card.You may try adding your debit card or bank account to verify your paypal a/c.Now a days SBI also issuing international debit card.

Sir do the sbi international card allow transcation without 3d secure pin? I mean can i use the sbi card in ebay ,bonanza etc site?
Satyam Baral · Jun 20, 2016 at 11:00 am
This is what sbi reply’s on my query about paypal payment “we would like to inform you that PayPal is not participating in 3D Secure which is mandatory for State Bank Group debit cards for doing e-commerce transactions. Therefore transactions done at PayPal are declined at our ATM Switch”.I think it will not allow you without 3d secure pin.
sid · Jun 18, 2016 at 10:53 pm
I have SBI global international debit card (master card).but can not use it amazon.com or eBay.CPM.as you said they allow international transactions ,then how and yes there is emv chip on the card.
Satyam Baral · Jun 20, 2016 at 10:53 am
I can’t say about master card but SBI global international debit card (visa) works for me.Though my card does not works with paypal.This is what sbi reply’s on my query about paypal payment “we would like to inform you that PayPal is not participating in 3D Secure which is mandatory for State Bank Group debit cards for doing e-commerce transactions. Therefore transactions done at PayPal are declined at our ATM Switch”

entropay not working for my SBI dabit card.. strange thing is i am trying to add $5 in entropay but my SBI OTP sms says i am paying Rs.5 ..
Satyam Baral · Nov 27, 2016 at 9:28 pm
Though SBI is showing Rs 5, but they will deduct $5 usd equivalent amount & $5usd will be credited in your entropay account.Just try once & reply what’s happening to you.
Vishal Ranjan · Nov 30, 2016 at 9:42 am
I am also facing same problem. I can’t buy WordPress plugins. So will entropay do the work. If i get the entropay visa card, will i be able to link it to my paypal account and use to to buy products from other countries.
Satyam Baral · Nov 30, 2016 at 10:03 am
No, you can’t add entropay issued card with your paypal account.Paypal doesn’t support entropay.Skrill, webmoney etc supports entropay payment.So, my suggestion ask plugin author for alternative payment option or apply for icici,hdfc,kotak,axis bank credit or debit card.
Aravind Ajit · Dec 29, 2016 at 3:33 pm

You may use your vcc at paytm & freecharge to add money & after that you may transfer it to your bank.Though i have not tried this method.
