A little bit too late 'your message .. This method was working thru years until this September 2011, and now it is already history Etrade changed their application form an now d in end You will receive not account number but simple application ID and You need post by mail all proofs of ID. Actually now it is interesting question will be any free alternatives for VBA as Etrade possible or not.....
this method was standard for years, but please be careful now. Your account will get limited if trying to create this method. (if you can even get etrade to go through).
Current VBA sellers more often use banks where micropayments are needed, which are therefore treated as more legit. Applying for reloadable prepaid cards that come with a bank account number (for direct deposits) also works, as the number can be used to both verify the account and to get funds withdrawn.
