Folks:
NO MATTER how old/young your ebay acct is--they have made it mandatory--
if the acct has never sold before to be verified, 2 ways...(BOTH ARE PAINLESS)..
1.) Enter credit card info---use a Simon/allaccess etc.
2.) Verify the phone on file--this was alittle tricky--let me explain...
a.) oF COURSE--the phone number MUSt be a legit number--no more "Virtual" numbers..
SO--if your acct is in Hawaii--and you are in NYC, you must have call forwarding..
--which I do..
So- you try to list via Auctiva-- Auctiva is what alerted me, when I received this message:
We're sorry, but before you list an item you must update your eBay account to a seller's account including a registered credit card. See your eBay account for more information.
OK< So- I go to Ebay--I do the credit card thing-thinking the game is on them,,,BUT WAIT--the TWIST--the Phone Call!
So- I do the call fwd-test it--it works! Ok, so now I restore the minimized Ebay screen, and continue..
>> Ebay now not only asks to press "a" button,, but the recording says first--will you accept this call? If yes, press 1, if no-forward to voice mail, press2, or press 3, to listen in on voice mail..I pressed 1.
>.NOw, the recording says--if you are accepting this call,press 6..(so thats twice..they want it verified, diff numbers pressed)--which is actually harder than the paypal call.. I am using a usb device through my pc..
_-The Phone Number calling was BOTH times, (I did two diff accts while I was impositioned)-- Both from : 847-709-0211....
So-thats it! So you MUST have a good number, it must be able to call forward, and be careful to listen to the voice, as it most likely changes...
Good Luck !
