Ebays phone # verify request "not available"
 

Been on ebay since 2002. Have been gold powerseller in the past.

Now on an account made back in 2004 but only just started to use, they are requesting phone # verification. never had this happen before. Tell them they can call now and get the message temporary unavailable. So didnt think anything of it. Now all my auction on gone and I cant relist any items. I get a pop-up asking to confirm again. Get the same message that its not available. Still cant list. Now it says I have used up all my chances to get my pin # from the phone confirmation.

Anyone else experience this? how do I get around it so I can list stuff. I am losing lots of money here.

It seems I have limited access to listing til I get this done. What a scam. I need to make the money to cover my fees coming up and cant list a single thing. Any help is appreciated.

I haven't experienced this before, most people verify by using a credit card. I use simon.com virtual giftcards, they work well. But if you need a number, you can try voice.yahoo.com, they're temporary phone numbers.

yeah they did that too me with the phone number verification thing it comes up as "AUTHENTIFY INC" 1-847-709-0211

See thats why I hate Ebay.

They should let give you a good amount of time to verify your self before they talk down your auctions and limit accounts! Thats why i do think it is something more behind all of this nonsense.

I hate ebay with a passion...one thing ebay has taught me in the last 2 years of dealing with them, "Never give up" its always a way..so this number verification thing is just another hurdel we will hop over and then it will be somethen else.
