Skype and bay
 

I have main Ebay account run on my PC and I started stealth account on virtual machine. I used Skype app on my mobile phone to call to ebay with questions about my main account. If I will need to call to Ebay about my stealth account can I use same Skype account for this?

No, you can not.

It's best if you call in with the number on file for an account.

You can call in using a different number, but I wouldn't recommend calling in on multiple accounts using the same number.

Why do you think so? Please explain.

this I understand, but it will be quite expensive to call from these numbers to US. When I call from skype to different mobile numbers my call shows as "Unknown number" , I know exactly that Ebay , Amazon etc can check if incoming call is from Skype or even some Voip services but I am not sure that when they got incoming call they can see from which Skype account I am calling. If they use Skype to receive incoming calls in this case they can..

I guess all you can do is try.

Ebay/Paypal and other large corporations have super advanced phone systems, so don't get too comfortable. A few months ago I had to spoof a number to call in to Paypal a few times. It worked fine for 2 calls, but by the time I called a third time their systems were able to detect that I was spoofing my number. After that, I wouldn't even get an answer. The phone would just hang up as soon as it was answered, so I gave up on calling in on that account.

I doubt a skype call would show up as "unknown number" on their telecom system. But of course, I have no way of knowing one way or the other. So in my opinion, your only option is experimentation!

I have never been able to hide my number when using skype to call ebay.

So I recommend not using your main account number because of the chance of linking accounts.

No message, not anything but just click hangup? Interesting to note.
