New Seller Account problem
 

I have a problem. I just bought an account from the accounts section.

I tried to list a test auction (literally a test auction), 1 day, $1 starting price, and just selling nothing.

It asked to Mother's Maiden Name (didn't know it, anybody know how to get it?). I pressed OK twice without thinking and then it says:

What should I do now?

Anyone have experience with this? Or did the money I spent on the account just go down the drain

ask the person who sold it to you what the maiden name is and other info.

I never experienced this, because if I don't know something, won't just "assume" it's ok and try to bypass it.

Lol the person who sold it to me "doesn't know" and he "made the account"... lol

but anyway.. for future reference.. anyone who encounters this problem.. all i did was call in, tell them my stealth info, and i was on my merry way. no sort of verifications required.

wth... well anyways, congrats. you were very lucky!

Did you use a phone number not on the account?

Which seller?
