Reverification
I am using mutliple stealth accounts and just got back into ebay fast and furious.
I am using a sprint wireless on my ebay PC so I can get a different IP each time I log into a different user account.
All of that works fine.
What I am noticing though is that when I am relisting or editing a listing and my IP is different than the last time I logged into that account, ebay wants to call me to reverify my identity.
The one in question today was a stealth account that I had bought a few months ago so I didn't have access to my contact number. I finally went out and bought a cheap tracphone and when I activated it online I used the same zip code as was in my stealth account. It gave me the correct area code for the phone number and I went in and changed it in my contact info.
It worked fine, although the first time it wanted me to verify the old phone number. I just inputted it and then it called me on the new number. Gave me the pin and I was off an running again.
The only thing is, it keeps you tethered to a phone (or number) for each account. I got the tracphone for $16. I don't know if there is a cheaper solution out there (virtual or otherwise).
It's kind of annoying for them to have to be able to call you just to reverify who you are cause I"m not using the same IP. I'm sure a lot of people are upset with this practice too.
Any of you noticing this too?
