After trying to sign up for one with 3 different (up until now very CVV2 compliant) cards with no success I would certainly not use them for anything other than B2B type transactions. I wanted the account purely for B2B type use. Just wanted a way to shunt money about and more importantly get money out easily without paying the crazy fees my bank charges to cash foreign cheques.

I figure if I have this much trouble getting a card a lot of people going to my sites are simply going to be lost sales if I go anywhere near them with this type of system. It very much has it's uses, but I can't see payment for site entry being one of them for anything other than the very, very few 'surfers' who will already own a card.

Maybe if the system ever really matures and takes off properly for this kind of use it'll work, but to me this seems doubtful unless a huge site like Ebay take it on aa a standard/suggested payment method which isn't going to happen.
