Hey I was wondering if there is Tracphone alternatives cause my only available option is to pay with bank through PayPal.

And Tracphone dosent offer PayPal payment any alternatives or solutions?

Trying to get phone numbers to verify on eBay. (online or real life helps)

I thought GV not longer work for EB account verification because it is some kind of voip?

Re: Do tracphone alternatives exsist?
 

Most likely I tried to use TextNow a VOIP and contacted eBay and they said it got declined cause its a VOIP I assume Google Voice and services like it will most likely not work on eBay unless anyone knows one that does please let me know! :pound:

You are aware you can buy Tracfone refills on eBay, correct?

So is this why I'm getting the error "Unfortunately, we're unable to verify your identity" while trying to create a seller account?

Idk how I feel about getting an actual phone number since I only go on ebay for week or two nowdays to sell a bunch of stuff then leave and a lot of times get banned after that or some other bs.

Idk if it's even worth it for me to go back if that's the case. Paying 20$ extra for a month, which I will then have to cancel doesn't make too much sense. My whole thing with steath is the ability to go back whenver I please, sell a bunch of stuff and gtfo. Im not interested in making super high quality accounts that have the potential to last a while longer. The method I used till now made it real easy about 15 minutes to set up a new accounts and get it going.

If $20 is trouble seriously WTF are you doing here?

Re: Do tracphone alternatives exsist?
 

No cause when you think about it you have ebay fees, paypal fees, taxes, and now this....then next year you may need another 20$ or more on something else and it will just keep adding up to the point where it's not worth it anymore.

In a way I'm kind of glad ebay stealth has become a bit harder because it eliminates some absolute frauds and scammers who 5 years ago could bot their account creation and fill the results with crap.

I haven't sold on eB for a couple of years and have been concentrating on two other platforms (Poshmark and Mercari). I've decided to try my hand at eB again with an account I've had since 2012.

Google Voice is not working for me. I'm attempting to link a new bank account as I closed my old bank account. I did an online chat with PP and I was told they cannot verify the phone number (even though I did the text verification with the new Google Voice number). The old number I had is also no longer is valid.

I've been trying to link my new bank account for more than 2 weeks, trying every 3 to 4 days as suggested by PP.

I'm now on to finding a phone alternative that PP and eB will accept. Ugh :rolleyes:

What SMS service do you use? I heard that you can use virtual numbers when registering stealth ebay accounts in any country except USA

Re: Do tracphone alternatives exsist?
 

They won't tell use cause they're using it

And they don't want the service to be abused

Re: Do tracphone alternatives exsist?
 

why can't you just get straighttalk? load it with like 3 months or 6 months, or 1 year. on ebay there's plenty of sellers with super low prices to refill. i loaded my phone with one year and paid $260, and it's my second time.

simplify your life.
