Default Has anyone here had their password reset by eBay

..after losing access to the registration phone number?


I have an account that I've been blocked out of for a while now that I would really like to get back. In the old days I'd just use spoofcard to call in from the old number but with MP I'm worried about raising some kind of red flag.

For context - it's a healthy account with a store subscription, getting regular emails from eBay.


I can't get into it though.

Yeah, happens every so often.
Super random though. Kind of makes me think someone has been trying to access your account one way or another.
Too random to be just a "random" reset.
huh?

Nah, it's not like that. The account is secure.. I just don't have any way to get into it.


I think the password reset got triggered because of the fact that the account was dormant for several months and then when it attempted to login again (using the same eBay app on the same phone), the phone had a new number. It's my oldest account and the only one I had linked to the app on a phone.

The last time I tried spoofing, eBay wanted to call back. It was a cool method back in 2015 but I assume it can be detected now.
