Bitcoin addresses contain a checksum, so it is very unlikely that mistyping an address will cause you to lose money.

The reason why some would be wary is that if the prepay such as entropay is linked to your account then you could do a chargeback on the card after its been used. I guess posting a physical card is more secure but a little hassle.

There had been an exchange or two that had offered this method in the past, but currently there are none.   

Bitcoins can be bought with cash.  A prepaid VISA card can be used at an ATM to obtain cash.

If you still want to try to find a trade, you might post an offer on the #bitcoin-otc marketplace.  Maybe someone there will be interested, at the right price.  Just make sure that if you are going to send the card in the mail that the party you are sending it to has a decent trust history in the #bitcoin-otc Web of Trust (WoT).
