Re: Wrong gender calling for limit raise
 

You can use voice changer software though....or try speaking like girl, they wont mind helping you out... lol

Re: Wrong gender calling for limit raise
 

hahaha.. that would be great idea too..

Re: Wrong gender calling for limit raise
 

I wonder why to use an incorrect gender to make stealths at all.

Re: Wrong gender calling for limit raise
 

Exactly

Don't get that, unless it your family member that you needed.

For made up name, use the right gender

Re: Wrong gender calling for limit raise
 

I would not worry about it too much. Just call them. Odds are is that you will have a foreign rep anyhow. I have called many times to PP with a female account name and my voice (male). I never had an issue with it nor was questioned.

I think of it like this, would you walk up to a fat chick and ask if she was pregnant? Voice is the same way. They probably dont want to be rude about it.

Re: Wrong gender calling for limit raise
 

talk quietly, and think of it from their end.. are they going to call you on it.. Urr Sorry I dont believe you are a woman sir?? takes some balls!!

Re: Wrong gender calling for limit raise
 

ive called in using a female info before. they didnt question me at all. i have a very very very deep voice. pretty sure its not allowed to question someones gender nowadays.

:amen:
Hopefully people learn from this

Re: Wrong gender calling for limit raise
 

Options
1. Get a voice changer program or device. They exist.
2. Get a girl friend.
3. Tall them you're a tranny and change your eBay I'd to "TrannySuperStore". You may want to upload a tranny picture on your eBay profile. They can't discriminate you for that.

What were you thinking BTW?

Re: Wrong gender calling for limit raise
 

I have called in as Anita and I have a husky voice and still have the account 3 years later. In this day and age I don't think it is going to raise any questions. What if Caitlyn Jenner has EB account and called in? I have an account that is 10 months old sell 95% of my limit and never had an increase. I am not about to risk it by calling in the 1st place. Not a good idea.

rent a call girl have some fun with her then get the call girl to make a call for you.

Re: Wrong gender calling for limit raise
 

All this time I've misunderstood the meaning of a CALL girl :pound:

Re: Wrong gender calling for limit raise
 

Lol, nice one Speeder!
:clap::clap::clap:

Re: Wrong gender calling for limit raise
 

Well in 100% non stealth real life I have a female name and I am quite male. Very few times in history has it ever been an issue.

The couple times I have ever been questioned I say, "That is MR My Real Name" and that usually clears things up.

Re: Wrong gender calling for limit raise
 

"thats mister jennifer to you sir!"

Re: Wrong gender calling for limit raise
 

Exactly!

Hey, you can always offer a taste test!

Re: Wrong gender calling for limit raise
 

One time I had to call in as a 75 year old vet. I was 19 at the time so I had to emulate a southern accent and tell war stories while I was on the phone. Felt bad about it but it got my account released. I prefer accounts with old birthdays because I can pretend to be a senile old man who doesn't know eBay policy. I mean I go full into it. Like one time I played an old farmer who kept yelling into the background and telling my made up grandson to stop trying to milk the bulls!

Re: Wrong gender calling for limit raise
 

That may not ALWAYS work but I'm sure you know this and most who call know it also...

Just because ONE rep says "no" to whatever your asking doesn't mean the next will. Theres always a rep that will say yes, just takes time sometimes.

Re: Wrong gender calling for limit raise
 

tiny puffs of helium and not talking much could be ok....

or hire a freelancer to do it, someone will do a call for $20 from your country....I mean they might mess it up but....

Re: Wrong gender calling for limit raise
 

Update:

Called with skype (freecall number no fees :) ) and my pitch raised (made me sound like a 12 year old boy) and got limits raised without a hitch :)

Re: Wrong gender calling for limit raise
 

I should note that the rep asked me a bunch of questions about the account (address, postcode, phone, dob, and similar) so make sure you have all your info up :)
