Not Getting Pin Text From Ebay
 

I succesfully created my Paypal. I went and created an Ebay account, and after entering name address etc, it is now telling me that they're going to text me a pin. I haven't received any text yet and I've clicked the "Get a new PIN" button a few times. They are not forcing me to do this, as there's also a button "skip this step."

What should I do? I'm using Pinger btw, as it was one of the recommended "free" options on the guide.

Stop using Pinger....lol, simple fix! Use a real phone.

First off, this is the first time I've ever used Pinger because this is the first time I've ever made a stealth. Secondly, it was suggested as one of the non abused free apps and Aspkin said it works so I didn't see a reason to not take advantage of it. It worked when PayPal sent me a PIN so I'm confused as to why it's not working with Ebay.

Those Apps are eventually abused and eventually stop working. If you want to play it safe, use a real phone number. Also, your selling limits using those apps will most likely be 0/$0.

I just verified my number and tried to list something but it's saying that I've reached my selling limits for the month... I'm assuming it's because I used a free app for the phone verification. Should I call to request to raise? The free phone app I used has only 10 free minutes on it... Or is it okay to just use my regular phone to call them? What kind of questions do they ask?

already answered on your other thread...

Ditch the account and start again. Phone apps do not work well. usually get a 0-0 limit

Also, you should wait a bit longer to list an item. 30 days is a great number if you can wait that long.

Ebay is a toll free number......10 minutes will not be used.

I suggest calling in so you know what you are dealing with first hand.

It's not necessary to wait 30 days, but to each their own.

Quite true. Two minute is not necessary but different results may occur.
