There are many members on here that never get MC999 and there's also many of us that do get it.
You must make the call or they'll simply suspend your account forever so what's to lose?
Personally I think eBay does a database check comparison with every new membership. If the signup info seems to match with most of their U.S. Database info they don't MC999 unless this new member does something out of the ordinary.
If the signup info does not make any matches to their U.S. Database info then they MC999 this new member when they get to it. Usually the first round of questions are easy and consist of asking where you get your items for sale, what kind of selling do you intend to do and they may transfer you to Trust & Safety where you will be asked to confirm your home address, your phone number, is it a cell or is it your home phone, and things along this line.
Be prepared with all your stealth info right in front of you before you call or have them call you. You don't want to get nervous and start giving delayed answers to their questions which makes you suspicious to them.
I actually made it through 2 MC999's about a month apart on 2 accounts I had.
The third MC999 came because my information did not match anything their Database would have on my stealth id which is why they kept after me and then finally just put an end to the lies by demanding a photo id and SS# amongst other items.
When they demand these items be faxed to them it's pretty much over.
I believe if you open your stealth account with a good address and a name associated to the address as well as a cell phone number in the correct area code that eBay won't MC999 you to begin with. At least not due to Database info raising a flag to them.
Just my opinion as nobody here knows exactly how eBay thinks. I don't think eBay knows how eBay thinks.
You need to stay in touch with these message boards and do your daily reading so as to learn what others are finding out may be triggering MC999's.
Some say Google Voice may be triggering it.
So now you'd know to forget using a call forward service.
Reading and asking questions just as you're doing will help. And of course I'm assuming you did buy and read the
stealth guide right?
