phone.com works great, but phone number changes are not very possible. You have to cancel and reactivate.

I just used Simon gift acct. VCC to recently open an acct. yesterday and it worked fine.

Vumber has been great so far.

Do you think that amazon ever catches on that you're using vnumber?

No not possible.

I've heard that vnumber might eventually realize you're using these to verify eBay and/or Amazon accounts, but I haven't personally had this happen. And I agree, vnumber is awesome!


jbuntz, aren't you worried that Amazon may try to call you on that number? If you change it every 24 hours, I'm sure you're looking at an instant limitation the second they can't reach you.

peoples' number change all the time, if you get a limitation, then i think if you would update the number, it would be fine..
i don't expect amazon to call frequently like paypal/ebay does.

oh yes, amazon will call.......

why would they?

Why would they? When you sell a lot, they want to make sure you're not a crook, you have a business plan, it's usually just a courtesy call. I don't know what happens when I don't pick up. I always have about a grand go through in week, and then I get a phone call. Usually just a "hey what's up" courtesy call. But I'm sure it's to prevent fraud.

hey

no amazon dont call seller :)

they NEVER called me in 6 month? why should they? if something is wrong, they send u an e-mail. that all :)

yeah, i never received any calls either.

I usually never get an amazon call BUT......

I created a new acct. and after about three hours my phone rang & it was from amazon but I didn't answer. Then a few minutes later my account was blocked....WTF!!!

I think Amazon will only call within the first couple of hours of a new acct.

They do call. Why wouldn't they?

Maybe if you're selling low risk items, like camera lens filters you won't have a problem.

I usually get a phone call, when I do the seller portion. Almost 90 percent of the time.

how you know what i was selling :)
i have never received a phone call from amazon before.
what do they ask you?

^^^^^^
 

Not really, even if they did I woudn't answer, I only answer calls that I'm expecting or on my contact list. I doubt if they would suspend your account because you decided to change your number.

Virgin won't suspend your account, I mean don't you think Amazon will limit your account if they call a disconnected number?

ah yes, I have no idea what you're selling. However, aren't most things considered high risk nowadays?


It's usually a fairly casual call. They ask me if I have enough inventory, and I buy these from a supplier, sometimes they call on new accounts just to see how it's going. It's an odd call, I'm not going to lie. It's way different than the paypal phone calls.

I was refering to Amazon, people change their number all the time, besides I've never had an account long enough to worry about that anyway.

hahahahaa....

:)
