Market for online VCC store

    Hey, what market do you guys think there is for an online VCC store? Indian publishers have a problem getting accepted into paypal and such because of Paypal not accepting indian cards, but I tried adding a vcc I made to my account, and it worked just fine. So what do you guys think? Should I try the niche? The vcc competition was pretty fierce a while back, around 2 years, before I'd left the business, but a quick google search revealed there's not much competition and a shortage of trustable stores.

    You have to be very lucky not to get banned by PayPal after using a VCC . So far i had two friends that used them and got banned .

    Accounts probably get banned because they forget to remove the VCC from the account after verifying it. My account's pretty old, and it hasn't got banned yet, though I've verified 2 vcc's on it.

    It still looks like a shady way to go TBQH .

    In all honesty, I don't think the market for VCC's is so big anymore. Debit cards from banks are becoming so easy to get nowadays...

    It does look like a shady way, but it doesn't mean it can't be used for legit purposes. It's got the shady ring to it because of the huge amount of paypal accounts hacked and transfered to verified accounts via vcc's. But legit people need vccs as well for various purposes.
    Celtivo, Debit cards aren't accepted at all the online merchants. I've tried using cards from 2 different banks, and they don't work on any of the good domain registrars, or paypal, or moneybookers, or anywhere a web developer might need to use it.
