^ Well, I don't think there is a fixed limit as such. They briefly suspend the account on various factors. Last week as usual I paid my hosting bill and immediately got a mail saying account has been limited. Although I just had to reset the password, enter the full card number etc to get the account active again.
Anyway add one by one and you should be OK, old cards will get deleted automatically once they expire so no need to do it manually.

Hi,
Netsafe problem lies very much within its own system.
I have been using Netsafe card to buy things online since 2006 without any hassle. But after more and more establishments started opting for third party payment inter-mediators like Paypal, using Netsafe has become critical.
During attachment of any Credit Card (Including Netsafe Card), Paypal debits and then again credits a small amount to confirm the existence of the card. But, Netsafe Card remains valid for single use and 24 hours, whichever comes first. So, the moment any attempt is made to attach it with Paypal, Paypal debits the small amount (technically, a transaction is made) and the Netsafe card becomes invalid or unusable to make the actual transaction.
HDFC Bank can solve this problem by just changing the validity of Netsafe from single use to Three usages (First for Paypal to debit the statutory amount, Second to credit it again and the third is for actual transaction by the consumer.)
I have failed to make the HDFC Bank officials (Upto the highest possible level) realize the trouble and take a note of my suggestion for easy (Possibly, I don’t know much about the logics and technicalities of online plastic Money transaction systems) resolution of the crisis. In return to my humble suggestion for the better usability of this unique and nice Product (Netsafe), HDFC rather preferred to direct me to banking Ombudsman- I don’t know what for. I never went to the bank with any complain rather I wanted them to give better life to their nice product.
However, it is their product, so they are at liberty to kill it.

^ Actually Netsafe works perfectly with PayPal. The initial charge you mention is done only once for verification. You need not do that for each and every card you add.
But otherwise when you add a card in PayPal, they check if the card is valid. If you then check Netsafe transaction history you will see PayPal mentioned there but the card will still work for your actual transaction. I have done this numerous times and I'm sure many members here have been using it like that.
This particular time it was due to some configuration error at their end where it didn't work with PayPal or even domestic sites.

That's great Varkey.
May be due to some other kind of errors- but, after attachment of Netsafe cards to Pay pal, my actual payment transactions through that Netsafe card got denied. It happened at least ten times.
but now, if I have understood you correctly- it is-
A. Creat a Netsafe card of small amount- B. allow that to be charged by Paypal for verification only-- C. Create new card-- D. attach it to Paypal -- (There will be no fresh verification charge by Paypal) -- E. Pay against buying -- F. Repeat from step C to F.
Am I correct?

no, to verify paypal charges 1 usd. that charge when reflects on account shows a number along. that number is to be entered to verify the card. incase of netsafe that cannot be seen. thus netsafe card becomes useless. i have gone through this few times last year. but dont know if it has changed now.debasisslg said:

Yes that should work. I have been doing the same for the past 1-2 years for many transactions and never faced any issue.
@a_t_u_l - The charge is 1.95 USD and only for the initial verification. You need not complete verification for each and every card. Once per account is enough AFAIK. Last week only I added a new Netsafe card and used it for a purchase immediately, without doing the 1.95$ verification process again.
Sorry mate if you make two three transaction in a day it wont work. I have made 5 card in an hr and blocked my money.varkey said:

Yes of course, the account needs to be verified. I am saying about adding new Netsafe cards to an already verified account as I already mentioned.
Anyway I haven't tried more than 3 transactions a day using Netsafe, but 1-2 transactions worked fine the last time I tried in a single day.

Netsafe Cards are Virtual Credit Card that can be generated from any HDFC Debit Card.wr8_utd said:
The validity of netsafe card is 24 hours and they are valid for single usage only.
They can be used anywhere you require a credit card for payment or where you do not want to share credit card details with the website.
