Re: Couple questions about cell phone
There it is again. The second time I'm hearing about verifying your phone to bypass the 21 day holds and I think this is if u are getting holds on non eBay transactions.
I think your not getting much help because this option is either very rare or it is something new and the option may not be given to every account
I have yet to have any hold on non eBay based sales, and I know others here who never had holds on funds from outside sales as well
But if I were to give you my best answer to this its like other paypals "verify your location through your phone" security measure, and like the rest there really is no one solution and one best answer
What paypal is looking for here is does your phone number match your name and address that is found in public records
And landlines are typically the best type of phone to be able to register to your name and address and become part of your public record, also your public records are formed overtime and not in real time
So just by purchasing any phone and adding that to paypal normally won't instantly be found in public records matching your name and address
Normally it takes 2-3 months, if you ever answered identity questions for eBay or a credit card company what ever, they will often ask ur name address and BDAY and plug that into there database to get public record questions
And if u pay attention they usually ask if you have been at the address that u have given for at least 3 months , because that's how long it generally takes to become part of ur public record
So even though they are looking for a public record match and this is probably not good for stealth , members here have been known to randomly pass this verification using basically any phone at any time
I must of heard many answers to this question so , it must randomly pass , sometimes with trac phone, others with go phone, and sometimes even GVOICE
