senzr : So apa macam, can your PSN link with your entropay account ?

after all this, my PS3 still refuse to take entropay, something about my card details not correct.

sigh..

I have questions:

1) Does it work with UK account?
2) Do other bank cards work on Entropay? (Eg. Hong Leng ATM card, Public Bank ATM etc...)

strange , i just register entropay at the website , input a new york address , then i transfer fund from my REAL LIFE credit card in the website itself. after which i proceed to log into psn US , then input my entropay virtual credit card info there, and also billing address , 1st attempt i put the same new york address that i always use. but then when checking out the game , got sale tax, i then proceed to change the billing address to an alaskan address for tax free sale.

so in a nutshell fund from real life credit card ---> transfered in entro pay credit card ---> transfered in PSN US account.


at which point did ur ps3 refuse ur entropay ?

Looks like a lot of you are not clear. As I have mention to kabuto rider kick as he PM me for help, this is how it goes:-

First you need your CC. When you register Entropay, make sure the CC you add your funds into Entropay the address is your CC's billing address. They have to verify your CC Billing Address of Malaysia before they allow you to use their Entropay service.

Once that is done, the US PSN account that you created is depending on which US address you use. Once that's done, you have to create add funds using your Entropay Virtual CC that was given to you. The billing address has to be your US PSN account residential address you use. They have to verify with Entropay and Entropay will just say yes for you. Once it's done, make sure you have sufficient amount in your virtual Entropay card (minimum USD 20 + service tax) and transfer the amount into your PSN Account. Once that's done, that's how it's approved your Entropay as your CC to transfer funds into your PSN ID Account. Voila, your Entropay works.

Take note:- Entropay works only for US or EU PSN ID. It does not work for Asia. Furthermore, the games you buy make sure it is US or EU Region. If it's Asia, whatever you download for add-on packs is just a waste. It's Region lock based upon your game. But for other PSN Arcade games, that is no problem. Do not share your Entropay CC to anyone to open account for anyone. If that happens, Entropay will decline your virtual CC and also PSN will reject your Entropay Account. This Entropay is solely yours only and you can't help anyone who wants to share games with you to pay less than the original retail price.

With these guidelines, happy playing and hope you can find more US or EU games to play with.

erm..come to think of it, I skipped the part in Entropay where I have to add funds.Have to reload my nextG lah like this.

Maybe my entropay is in VALIDATING mode, thats why PSN refused it..

Update:-

Forgot to add - for the PSN Address (residential and billing) mine is in Oregon, Milwaukie. It's tax free over there since so far I have make my purchases in PSN Store.

Also, the more you buy, the chances of you getting Beta games in the future is high. That's how I got my Killzone 2 since at one month I spent like USD 40 of stuff.

Had to go to work la...couldn't try it out yet.

There are STILL conflicting statements from you guys.

Kabuto Rider Kick said he used US addresses for ALL address fields (Entropay & US PSN).

Then hairyLGS said:
First you need your CC. When you register Entropay, make sure the CC you add your funds into Entropay the address is your CC's billing address. They have to verify your CC Billing Address of Malaysia before they allow you to use their Entropay service.

SO WHICH IS IT NOW??

Could it be that some of you are using Msian prepaid PLASTIC credit cards (AM Bank nexG?) that don't have a billing address?
And some are using regular PLASTIC cards with Msian billing address?

Dammit...have to go thru so much trouble just to play Street Fighter HD. Not to mention by the time I find a Hori stick...woulda spent almost RM500. Maybe I should just grow up

senzr : I am not using a prepaid CC.

Just try out based on wat hairylgs has elaborated.

sorry just wan to ask when ever i try to enter a billing information i get a invalid billing information error... is it i need to have credit to get my entropay working?? coz im try to get my entropay working b4 i add fund to my entropay...

just opened an entropay and used it to buy sf2thdr yesterday. theres something i would like to point out:

1. using my public bank cc, theres a finance charge of 5% i think. so if ure loading ur entropay for usd 20+0.99. it will cost around 20.99x3.53x1.05=RM77.799435 and im not sure interested would be charge from the first day since it counts as cash advance/deposit. entropay states tat certain card dont charge this amount. may we make a list?

2. found out that u have to have at least usd 1 balance in your entropay. so u basically if u want to buy a game usd 50, u need to load ur card 51+service charge 4.95%xexchange ratex(watever charges from ur cc provider).

3. theres 2 address for your entropay. 1 is your entropay cc card/billing address, which must be the same as the address you use in your psn network. 2nd is your fund source address, which is your local cc to fund the entropay, this 1 must be the same address when u registered for ur local cc to entropay to validate ur cc.

4. the 2 address is different from each other. but when u create ur entropay account, it is assumed to be the same, so entropay puts both the same for you when u c8 the account. u'd need to change your entropay address to ur psn address and having your fund source address the same as your cc address.

thats what i experienced anyway. not too sure its 100% like that, but i got mine up and running the first time, quiet easy.

its easy for me , my experience , is im using maybank cc with local billing address that needs to be input in entropay website to provide fund to the entropay cc which in turns provide fund for ur psn US account.

as far as address goes, entropay use US address for your entropay card but use malaysia address for ur real cc for u to transfer to ur entropay.

for psn , use us address. to PSN they dont know u hv other cc behind ur entropay cc, so they wont bother with any other addresses other then US.


same up and running 1st time try. quite easy too for me.

Great! Which means I was right the first time.

To recap for everyone:

Entropay website registration steps:
1. Personal Details (use USA address, must match US PSN ID residential address + US PSN ID billing address[select VISA in the menu])
2. Funding Details (use Msian credit card billing address, must match your REAL credit card billing address)
2. Activate
4. Load
5. Confirm

Right? I'll try this tonight if I'm still sober enough...haha.

Someone should sticky this thread. Great workaround for our lousy Msian PSN...which doesn't even have a PS Store!!

Thanks, everyone. Will try it out and post results.

Well, if Malaysia has a PSN store... then everyone will be in big trouble unless the games you have are Asia versions... which means Rock Band owners are going to cry foul...

Anyway, on regards of what guest5201314 (I think he/she forgot to log in), the finance charge isn't from your local bank... it's from Entropay for using their service for each time you add funds into the virtual card.

this is my account nick wor... im male le..... in my tag.

when i load entropay, i already pay 0.99 as service charge.
example: when i load usd20, i pay usd20+0.99= usd 20.99

converting to RM becomes usd20.99x3.53= RM 74.0947
but i was charge RM 77.78, which is RM74.0947x1.05=RM77.799435

so i was charge 4.95% from entropay, AND around 5% from local cc.
total is almost 10% service charge

Wah... didn't know mah...

Thanks for sharing the info...

Just to add, here's a summary of the fees & charges which I gathered from around the Entropay site:

Open an EntroPay Account - Free
Create an EntroPay Virtual Card - Free
Load an EntroPay Card from a personal credit or debit card - 4.95%
Receive money from a merchant onto an EntroPay Card - 1.95%
Transfer between EntroPay Cards - $0.20 / £0.10 / €0.15
Spend using an EntroPay Card - Free
Return money to a personal credit or debit card - $6.00 / £3.00 / €4.50
Destroy an EntroPay Virtual Card - Free

Dormant account fee - charged after 6 months of inactivity - $5.00 / £2.50 / €3.75 <---Watch out for this one
Close EntroPay account / Withdraw to credit/debit card2 - $6.00 / £3.00 / €4.50
Chargeback processing fee - $5.00 / £2.5 / €3.75

Note: This is NOT complete. Don't be lazy. Take the time to go through the conditions and know what you're getting into. This is not like a software user agreement where you just scroll down and click 'OK'. This is gonna cost money.

For all the lazy a$$ mofos, here are the links:

Entropay main site:
www.entropay.com

Account fees at a glance:

FAQ:

User agreement:

Schedule of limits & charges:

I myself haven't decided to sign up yet. The more I read in detail, the more charges I find. They're definitely reasonable. But they're not free.

Now, about that 5% foreign exchange charge from your credit card...can anyone else confirm that they paid this too? This is getting expensive...

whoa didnt realize this before,if not use for 6 months Entropay gonna charge us,i bet i'll dl somethin within 6 months,well i must

i smell a sticky thread. if dont want to use u can destroy card in entropay website , so dont worry. ( i think )

Ok, here it is... I actually had done my entropay a couple of months back to buy some songs from singstore tapi that time, cannot use it to fund my psn wallet.

Yesterday, i can finally use it. So yeah, US PSN allows entropay again. btw, its 5, 10, 20 and upwards to fund.

Now fingers itchy to buy songs or games...ergh. Just worried about my psn link cause streamyx not providing good service.
