What can I call eBay/PayPal with?

[tommydebest]

I need to make a phone call to get an account out of a limitation as I have found that when you call and actually speak with a rep your account will almost always have the limitation removed (if all ur docs look legit), especially if the rep puts a note on your case. I used a Skype online number for verification on this account, but I don't have any Skype credit to make a call, and im not sure if the caller ID will show my online number or just some generic skype number used for every call, so I dont really want to call using skype unless you guys can confirm the online number you have shows up on caller ID. So I need a way to call them with out using any of my real numbers cause there all linked to previously suspended accounts and I cant use any of my friends or family cause they all have eBay already. So what can I call em with?

Also I was thinking a prepaid sim card, is the paypal number free to call from mobiles?

If your suspended account is on eBay's side stop right there.

Go onto LIVE chat on eBay and speak to someone, act like a right noob. Give it all the im new to all this so I dont understand. They will then ask you to send documents to an email address. If you were creative enough they should reinstate your account pretty sharpish.

Ive done this twice now and its all fine

IF you need more help feel free to pm me

Live chat still exists right? Not done away with?

Not as far as I know, was on it 24 hours ago and had 2 account lifted in the end via chat.

Its manned 24/7 now.

there's no chat anymore here in AUS, it really sucks. So the only way your going to speak to an actual human being is to call.

From my personal experiance with the Canadian eBay/PAypal, just call them with any phone you have. It doesn't matter if it was previously linked or called already, they don't care apparently as long as you didn't make any calls for another account recently. I've done this several times over the years using the same phone and same number, from lifting my limitations to verifying identity with a live agent. They never linked any of my accounts.

^ ok im gana try this with Paypal, I hope your right.

@BiN, using an old phone number in the past on a limited account has been DANGEROUS for me (confirmed) - the system picks this up and agents can too. Never recommended.

Well I dunno about you rsot, but it seems to be the complete opposite for me. If you are paranoid, its never a bad idea to pick up a prepaid phone
