ebay stuff called after i list the first item on ebay
 

i followed the guide here and created a new account 2 days ago , then just after i listed one item on ebay, i received a call from ebay ,it is not a machine ,it is a human being ,he told me that he just want to verify if i am the one owner of the account and what product did i list,i was really scared ,i do not know why they call me and what are you going to do with me next ,
has anybody here encountered the same situation? please sure your experience with me.thanks

You created an account and listed in the first week after you created it. Do you have any feedback?
Is that what the ebook recommends? I didn't think so.
This is the standard eBay verification and they can call you at any time.

hello ,Quasi_Mojo,thanks for your reply ! so i have to choose to not list item to sell within the first week after i creat the account ?instead ,i need to buy something from ebay in order to gain the feedback ??

It's not a problem if eBay call you. As long as you give them the same info (if they ask) as on your account - you'll be fine.

But take it slowly.

You didn't buy the ebook, did you?
If you're not going to buy it, you've got a lot more reading to do.

If you want a high-level overview of what you should do to correctly create new eBay/PP accounts, check this out. Read the whole thread and follow the links in the first post.

If you want more detail, I seriously recommend you purchase the eBay Stealth ebook.

actually i have bought eBay Stealth ebook.and i have read it about several times, i think i have missed some points on the book ,i will read the book again ,,thanks

Page 24 of the ebook - under Starting Out/Now onto selling.

They called me quite abit on my last 8 or so accounts over the past few months. They claim its a curstoy call but i know better there calling to be noisy trying to find out 1. if your phone number is active and 2. trying to see what your saleing is legit. I never answare there calls some times the monkeys will banned me for abuseing ebay! other times they dont do nothing. Havent been banned in a while for not answareing maybe they got in trouble for it or something but i did call there # back and it said no other action was needed that it was just a coursty call.

What do the numbers show up as? Or were the Unknown Numbers?

number show up with a Nebraska are code like 870 or something

There is a Paypal office in Omaha, Nebraska.
When you call Paypal your are 99% of the time calling Omaha, Nebraska.
