Problems with Ebay Phone Registration

[cortex]

As far as I'm aware, the terminology used on here is misleading.

To "verify" means to change an unverified pp account into a verified pp account. This is a separate process to adding a vcc/cc to ur pp account and "confirming" it.

To confirm something, in the realms of pp, means you confirm the vcc/cc/address as it belonging to you. Simply adding a vcc/cc and entering then the expuse code does not verify a pp account (switch it from un-verified status to a verified status) in order for you to use it to sell on an auction site. But you can add a vcc/cc to an unverified pp account and confirm it (belonging to you).

EXAMPLE: Adding a vcc/cc to a pp, and confirming it, without adding bank account does not make it a verified pp account does it? But you do confirm the addition of a vcc/cc don't you?
So there IS a difference between confirming and verifying.

But if I'm wrong, and you can verify a pp account with a vcc/cc alone then please do tell me how you go about this protocol...

jeez this cant be still a debate I thought this had been cleared up.

I don't see why using either word to describe the process makes the process so confusing.

[cortex]

Obviously not

[ShadyOne]

^^ No you are right in what you are saying, though the terms can be used universally with PP. Like they call it 'confirming your bank' etc

But I see what you mean. PayPal verified status, address confirmation etc

I does get confusing when people constantly use different terms for each. Although not for me and Imakemoney

[cortex]

anyway, swiftly moving on............

PS I dont think ive ever seen anyone with a 100% activity status...maximum kudos to you sir

No doubt GB will give me a backhander for saying this lol

[ShadyOne]

I know it is the devils links but:

For anyone else still confused, follow the link and click Managing My Account > Account Verification or Address Confirmation.

You will know it all after researching that!

@Superdude, I forgot to mention a technique I used to use, when I needed a quick land line for eBay and PayPal. I used to use local phone boxes :D

I just remembered this. I had a phone box outside my house once, I remember having to run out when I heard it ringing

I would only recommend it for a temporary use on any accounts if you cannot find free services or do not want to pay a penny. You could keep it on your accounts forever but you may not be in the phone box if eBay and PayPal tried phoning you for some reason

[cortex]

^^I did this years n years ago....except i had to cycle for 1 minute flat out to get to it. I did 3-4 trial runs before i press "call me in 2 minutes". Had it down to a military operation from running down the stairs, unlocking my bikelock to cycling to the phonebox lol....thank heavens for VOIP!

[ShadyOne]

^^^ Haha, that sounds awesome.

I had like 2 phone boxes near my house, so I never had to bike like a maniac, I just strolled down there

Trial runs! ebay phone verification olympics

LOL - superb!!

there is a phone box down the road
someone might of used it before though:(:(:(
are you guys sure they cant tell its a public phone box???
sounds quite risky,what if they ring me on it and a drunk answers it,LOL
its next the local!

[ShadyOne]

^ Yeah I personally would never do it again, VOIP and mobile phones all the way, I just used to use a phone box before I found out about stealth.

At the time a mobile phone couldn't be used with eBay, so I used a phone box, although many phone boxes in the UK do not have dial tones which when eBay asks you to press x number during verification it is not directly possilbe to do it.

So what I used to do was put a mobile phone up to the phone reciever and press the number that ebay asked for, it works. :D

Their is a chance that someone has used it but that can be the same for a lot of your stealth info, it is a combination of suspended details that is deadliest.

I would say just go for VOIP and mobile phones. Though if you want to create multiple eBay accounts and want a quick solution without paying anything, phone box would work

ive chose soho66,
i will see how it goes and report back,
GTB out

[ShadyOne]

^^ I am using soho66, so PM if you do need any help, it is a good choice.

You can keep the numbers active for as long as you want, which you know is important for when PP or EB try to contact you.

[GTB]

nice one shady,
so,if i top up £5 can i use that for 3 numbers etc?
instead of having to top up for each number

[ShadyOne]

yeah credit is used for any numbers you have active with soho

By the way I would say, top up £10 to be safe.

It is also £2 for each number every month. Not that expensive if you are going to be making some good cash with your multiple ebay accounts, you could pay the £2 off for each number in one sale

Also, soho66 offer an email to fax service at 7p a sheet, I have not tried this yet but it could be a good find for sending in docs to eb and pp.

[Apple on Head]

Prior to reading the stealth guide I had 5 different ebay's going into 1 paypal - guess what ? Yep, they're dead now. From my understanding just have 2 max ebays going into 1 paypal, same details just a different ebay user name. That way you can spread your sales over the 2 eb accounts and if you receive any neg f/b you can lie low for a few weeks and transfer your sales to the other account.

Obviously, if you want more eb accounts you can repeat the process, open a NEW stealth pp a/c with a couple of eb a/c's and do the same but don't forget to follow all of the steps in the stealth guide.

Good luck .......... personally speaking, if you have existing pp and eb a/c's and you think they may be linked to any suspended info, phone number bank a/c etc then they will eventually die. I am now total stealth, I now from checking and double checking that none of my current a/c's are linked in any way to old, limited ones.

[GTB]

so did you have a few eb accounts in the same details,
e.g 3x eb account
same address
same name
same email & tel no etc
so i could open two eb accts in the same name & details & add to one pp account?

[GTB]

nice one shady,seems like a good company!

[cortex]

"ebay phone verification olympics" haha!

yeh put a few hurdles along the way n a big sand pit near the phone box [long jump style] and a can of ice cold cola waiting in the phone booth ha!
