Talking How eBay gave me a PRE 11-07 account for free :)

Hello everyone, this is my very first post and it is a good one.

All ebay user names & ebay rep names have been changed to protect the innocent

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yesterday I came accross one of my very old ebay accounts by looking at feedback from other older accounts that were suspended. After painstakingly going through every single feedback, I found 4 accounts from 2000 and 2003 that I had no clue what information I had used when I made the accounts.

Completely forgot their contact information, passwords, phone numbers, addresses and even the registered names!

I proceeded to write down the accounts that were not naru'd and then to "forgot password link" on ebay itself.

After trying everything I could vaguely remember with no luck to have the system reset the password, I went and tried the alternate method which places a call to the phone number in file which I do not remember either but it gave me the last 4 digits of the phone number.

With this information in hand I went to live help and the first rep transferred me to "account security" because NONE of the information I gave them matched.

This is the actual conversation that followed and they gave me a new password for this OLD account

PM Customer
thank you! what do i have to do after ? update my information?
PM Ebay Rep.
Please sign in now using the password "****." Then, immediately go to your My eBay page. On the left hand side will be a link called Personal Information. Please click that, then click the Edit link next to Password. Sign in again using "****". Use "****" one last time for the Old Password, then enter your new password twice. When you're done, you should get a confirmation that your changes have been saved.
PM Customer
it logged in but it says that it needs to place a phone call to the phone number i no longer have
PM Ebay Rep.
Because your account has been inactive for your security, we placed a temporary block on your account. Now that I have verified your identity I've removed the block and you'll be able to use your account to buy and Sell.
PM Customer
what do i do now?
PM Ebay Rep.
Pleas try to log back and it will push through.
PM Customer
it went through
PM Ebay Rep.
Great!
PM Customer
now just update my information?
PM Ebay Rep.
You can do this by clicking “My eBay” at the top of most eBay pages, and then clicking “Addresses” on the left side of the next page.
PM Customer
thanks!!



Then I proceeded to update my information & that's that.

Now, I wonder if this account is linked to any of my previous Narud accounts because of IP address?

Well that's good... I hope you cleared cookies, flash objects and changed your IP Address before accessing the account.

Other then that, the account is good to go.. and you shouldn't have any problems.

Yes, I cleared everything before accessing the account. Guess what? I just tried it again for another account and the conversation with the agent was completely different and no luck.

Will try again tomorrow.

Do you know if my merchant account can be used in the cell phone category?
