Google Checkout does request information and verify documents - and check EBAY status

ebayhate4ever · #23 05-03-2008

hey everyone, for some reason when I use a virtual credit card for google checkout, within 3 days it now asks me for verification and halts my payouts! Even if my order is brand new, wtf! is this the same for everybody? what happened to the good old days when google checkout was free...this is so aggravating. I waited until today to see if maybe they already initiated the payout before asking for verification, but no! I don't know what i'm doing wrong, and I don't want to give them my real info because I don't like giving anybody my real info. Guess it's back to paypal, even they don't pull bull**** like this.

HI: Have you tried a different brand of vcc?
Simon works fine, for me..

ebayhate4ever · #25 05-03-2008

Yea it is simon gift cards that I am using, so far i've tried 2 and same result. Is it a new policy of theirs or something? And these aren't like $1,000 transactions or anything. Just $100.

ebayhate4ever · #26 05-03-2008

Though the simon gift cards are ones that I have used for ebay, you think that could be the reason?

ebayhateluv · #27 05-03-2008

NO, ebay + google arent linked, that Im aware of,, maybe a new google p[olicy, or something else??
--your ip address--same as google ck out that was banned?
---any matching info--same as old acct?

To be honest with you- MOdee is the Google ckout person, I have used it, and I have an acct-- but I guess I got away with no verif, and they deposited over $1400 int omy acct once, and then $1k another time, so I do nto use on a regular basis- btw- my acct was created in aug/sept of 2007

yeah make sure u use a new ip cause once u get banned they keep track of that and theres alot of gift cards u can use besdies one and if your saleing the same stuff they just asume your the same person and banned you or ask for verfaction google is sneaky like that and there starting to become another paypal.

also u may want to do the $500 a month limt that seems to help

Google is known to do AVS verification checks on cards used for their services. If you use a simons gift card chances are it will not pass a the AVS check which will cause Google to request addition verification information from you.

After sending an ebay winner any GC invoice for payment 3 days after the initiated payout.. my gc account ...suspended, a refund was given to the buyer w/o any notification to me or my authorization and NO $ deposited in my bank account.

Wen i logged into my gc account to check the status of the payout there was a message saying they couldnt process my card i used to create the acct with which was a prepaid debit card. They requested a copy of my DL and Proof of address. I sent it.

Google emailed me back saying they will not reinstate my account.

should i create another gc account wit my real info and ssn again , new credit card and bank info ?

any 1 have this problem before or know how to fix it im

I signed up with GCO a while back using my real name and address. Bad Idea.

There is an option when signing up with GCO to display my business name so that it appears on the customers credit card statement, I thought by doing this, my real name/address would not be displayed for them to see.

Earlier today, I clicked on one of the invoice links I sent to one of my customers and went through the process as if I was buying the item myself and I was flabbergasted when I saw my real name and address show up on the checkout page.

I wish there was a way to prevent my real name from showing up on that checkout page.

I’m bummed.

I don't get it, why would anyone want to reference eBay when preparing invoices using their GoogleCheckout?

How does Google know the transactions are eBay related?

I just type in a description of the item and never reference eBay and send the invocie off to my customer.

If Google ever asks me if my sales are eBay related I will just tell them no and make em look at my eCrater store website.

Update on this ? Are they going to pay you the money ? Did you ship product out ?

Ballsack · #39 05-17-2008

Just pay $9.99 and get someone else's ssn online.

Just for my own security i never ship items before i receive payment.

Actually, i confirmed another method to open numerous google accounts since then, so i havent pursued the reinstatement of my suspended acct. Maybe Google doesnt like my IP or real name? :(

Google now shutting down accts.

I received a request from Google asking to update my "Public business URL" field, otherwise they may close my account. What should I put there? I only sold a couple of items on ebay. Should I enter my ebay id?
I don't have any "store" or my own website.
