Estive a pesquisar e o VAT em Andorra é apenas 4.5%.

Não sei se é preciso pagar alguma coisa ao atravessar a fronteira para Espanha. Caso não seja compensava fazer uma compra de grupo e ia-se a Andorra buscar 100 mineradores.

Fica a sugestão  Grin

You didn‘t list PCS Infinity prepaid Mastercard:
https://www.mypcs.com/card/pcs-infinity/

This one has a free unique Iban account and can be applyed fully online. The account can receive and send (not 100% sure about sending) transfers from any EU bank account. I asked their support if crypto trades are ok and did not get any negative answer.
Should be mentioned here i think. But the card is 15€ per year, so not free!

I didn't know we can apply online, we buy it at the tobacconist shop here. I own a card the price isn't really 15€ per year, it starts at 4€ per year with a virtual card, 10€ with the black card, 15€ for the chrome and 20€ for the gold.
The fees are very high to use it. Up to 7% to deposit money with a voucher, 4% with a debit card and 2% with SEPA.
1€ per ATM withdrawal, 1€ per outgoing transfer.

0.05 cents per minute to call the support center to finally get a lady so bored to answer your questions


You can buy this card with cash 100% anonymous?

Já agora neste modelo s17 não preciso de comprar fonte certo ?



Certo.

Quanto ao resto não sei porque nunca comprei miners directamente da China.

Mas para outro tipo de gadgets ouço os meus colegas a falar de métodos de envio que não passam pela alfândega. Devem aterrar primeiro noutro país dentro da UE e depois é que vêm para cá. Não faço ideia.

It is real shipping and tracking.
Guess its convenient for those with alot going on.


What is the origin country?

It can be interesting for that. Because if I want to send "from US" I won't buy a plane ticket just to mail a parcel.  Grin

Because ive been selling digital stuff for a while and alot of times i get alot of interest. When it comes to buying no ones to be seen lol.

£25

Yh real tracking number. Once show as delivered the case is in your favour. It can be tracked with whichever courier i do it with.


I understand your point. Thanks for your quick replies.

I won't buy because it's very expensive. For that price I can buy real shipping with tracking. I thought you had access to a database and

It can be interesting for someone wanting to appear in a different country, but that's not a requisite for me.

Btw, what's the origin of your tracking numbers? UK? US?

Notice the 👍 they added in the message?  Cheesy Sorry but it's funny, locking account and message the customer with 👍
I think generally speaking most of the neobank are not so friendly when you have transactions related with anything from cryptos.
By the way, did you tried N26?

Yes, they are very funny  Grin

They have all this positive vibe, "Look at us, we're not a regular bank! We don't wear suits and we embrace crypto, bla bla bla..."

Fuck you! You're exactly like any other bank you phony fucks!


By the way, did you tried N26?

Yes, they blocked me when I tried to transfer from Kraken.

And I wasn't the only one.

My experience with this list as a localbitcoins trader.

I sell and buy btc with SEPA transfers. Because I receive from many people and send to many other people banks don't like this pattern and as you know it's impossible to reason with them. They act like fucking robots.


- N26: Used only once for localbitcoins. Blocked when transfering from kraken

- Revolut: Used them for some time. Was able to receive about €20k. Blocked

- Mistertango: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1709715.msg28844528#msg28844528 Blocked

- Leupay: Already received 17k and stopped. Only large transfers so less sender. Still working

- Paysera: Low activity so far. Still working
 



Apparently N26 is shutting me down because I requested a transfer from kraken.


My conclusion is that you can't use any of these banks to do any kind of trade.

In fact I can't understand what you can use these accounts for since some of them blocked me for sending like 10 outgoing transfers. But I suspect I'm burned and all banks are now sharing information.

I have come to the conclusion that the only way way to go is to open offshore bank accounts to continue my activity.

bunq locked my account again.

Code:
Hi Vanquish_PT,

We regularly review our users activity as required by law. We detected an unusual pattern in the transactions of your personal account(s).
We opened an internal investigation and have concluded to temporarily freeze your accounts as a precaution.

Your assets in these accounts will be frozen until the end of this investigation.
We aim to be fast possible and will keep you informed if our investigation goes beyond 5 working days.

Thank you for understanding,

- the bunq compliance team

After they unlocked it I loaded about €1500 from other of my own accounts, received €300 from other person and made 10 payments.

This is all localbitcoins activity but I don't think they have a way to tell and after all they were supposed to be crypto-friendly. Before I started using this account I specifically asked if this would be ok or if I need a company account and they said this:

Code:
Alright, so a business account is really only necessary if you want to start trading bitcoins as a business/as your work. 

If you just do some bitcoin trading for yourself, this is not necessary

It seems 10 outgoing transfers in one week can't be considered as personal use.

In fact outgoing transfers are definitely a problem for them.

When they blocked me for the first time they asked this:

Code:
and we see lots of outgoing payments to different IBANs all over Europe. Could you tell us some more about that?

So you can't do payments with a bank account?

I wonder what these people consider a normal behaviour for a bank user.

Or maybe I'm so burned in the banking sector that I'll never be able to have a normal bank account again.




bunq locked for good now   Angry

"We regularly review our users activity and during our last check, we identified that the use you make of your bunq account is not what we normally expect and is therefore not in line with our risk profile for user.

For this reason and in line with our Terms and Conditions, article 36, we have to close your bunq account.

Please can you provide an IBAN where we can send you the funds in your accounts?"

I hope this is clearer now and we would need from you a refund IBAN so that we can transfer the remaining funds right away.

Let us know as to proceed. 👍

Crypto friendly my ass!

The only surviving accounts are the ones I never used for localbitcoins trading.

Very disappointing...

I can do tracking but don't see enough interest here to offer it.

yes

If you don't give more details we can't be interested.

Price?

How does it work? It's like a real tracking number? After some days will show as delivered? Where can it be tracked?
10  Economy / Digital goods / Re: VBAs, virtual mastercards, UK credit reports on: July 22, 2018, 11:27:06 AM

One.
Will get back to you want to make sure method is still feasible

Did you check this?

Can I lift the hold with your tracking code?

How much do you charge for that?
11  Economy / Digital goods / Re: VBAs, virtual mastercards, UK credit reports on: July 19, 2018, 11:02:51 AM

I thought I already Pmed you.
You would need tracking for each transaction.
You'll have to build transaction history to remove it completely.

You didn't PM me.

In your experience how many to build that transaction history?
12  Economy / Digital goods / Re: VBAs, virtual mastercards, UK credit reports on: July 19, 2018, 03:59:01 AM

One.

I mean to completely remove the 21-day hold.

Just 1? Really?

The Swiss banks are the best if you don't mind AEOI.

AEOI is only between OECD members or they also share with other countries?

What offshore jurisdictions do swiss banks accept?

A country doesn't need to be an OECB member to participate in the AEOI program. There are maybe 20-30 countries in OECB but AEOI has thousands. Also a country doesn't need to sign the AEOI agreement to exchange information with other countries. They can always use other means: on request or spontaneously.


I don't think all countries have interest in sharing information.

I found this information: https://thebanks.eu/articles/countries-which-will-not-automatically-exchange-account-information

The way around 21-day hold is getting tracking numbers. I can get this.



After how many successful trackings is the hold lifted?

How much do you charge for the tracking numbers?
15  Economy / Digital goods / Re: VBAs, virtual mastercards, UK credit reports on: July 13, 2018, 10:56:17 PM

PayPal 100% status with cookies and VBA online access: £50

Do these accounts have the 21-day limitation?

Hi Vanquish,

can you tell us how much in total was the volume of those 10 transfers?

Less than 10k EUR.

The problem with my accounts might be that I always keep a balance close to zero.

Whenever I receive money from sales I immediately buy again. So I'm always receiving money from different people and then send all the money to others.

Monese is now blocking accounts...

FYI

Unfortunately I can confirm this.  Sad

And as if it wasn't enough I have more bad news. My Fidor account is also suspended  Embarrassed


I'm also quite sure that Revolut and Transferwise are exchanging information.

Some weeks ago I opened a transferwise account and verified my ID. The next day the account was blocked without any explanation. I never had a chance to even use the account. As I've been blocked in many banks there was no simple way to tell where they got their info about me.

But last week I opened a transferwise account in my wife's name. She verified the ID and asked a card and all seemed fine. The day the card arrived to us the account blocked. Well, my wife was only blocked by Revolut before, so I'm pretty sure that Revolut was the source of this information because I don't think they know we are married.




Good day Mr XXXXXXXX,

Thank you for your message, Which we will gladly answer for you.
You of understood correctly. Your account will be terminated on xx/xx/2018.
Ordinary termination is possible at any time, subject to a reasonable time limit, without prior warning and reasons. Further More, the right to give notice Arises from the principle of the bank's private autonomy. The Federal Court of Justice (case no. XI ZR 22/12) therefore ruled that way.
best regards
Your Fidor Bank

Do you still have money blocked on Bunq?
It's getting ridiculous that all the transfers nowadays have to be between accounts of same person name.

My account was unlocked now.

Let's see how it goes.

bunq locked my account again.
