Mobile numbers for ebay seller accounts
 

Hi guys

Just thought id write a message letting those who dont already know from the UK that you can now use mobile numbers for ebay selling. Just put the 1st 3 digits in the first box and the remaining in the 2nd box. Tried it earlier today and worked fine :)

Thanks dude, I was going to post asking this :)

No problem :)

However if your going to lift the limits on paypal remeber you will need a landline number though but you already know this im sure :D

Yep, defo. Thanks

buy the cheapest mobile you can find then use these:

O2 | Free Sim | Get free unlimited O2 to O2 calls and texts

Free SIM Cards – get a free SIM on pay as you go mobiles | Orange UK

Free Sim Cards on T-Mobile - Get a free SIM card on Pay As You Go

....then soho66 for the number....redirect the number to the mobile and bang your away :amen:

Just worked a treat.

Yep I have aload of Soho number for each account. Got sims coming out of my ears, as I sometimes sell mobile phones hehe

are they activated sims? ive got tons of sim cards for my vodaphone mobile but none are activated so I cant recieve calls from ebay to verify etc, if I want to activate have to top up at least a 5iver

^Activated sims usually cost money.

Your unactivated sims are free and not activated until you top it up with the minimum.

Anybody can get tons of unactivated sim cards.

Come on guys it's easy to get activated sims, here's one for £1.50 Vodafone SIM Card with £5 Calling Credit Pay as you go | eBay UK

Seems to be so eh

i'm not sure about uk, but in the US you can buy activated sims on ebay. they cost about $3 with 70 minutes of talk time. i just used one 10 minutes ago to activate ebay seller account. the seller i bought from let me choose the area code i wanted.

Theres a seller on Ebay thats selling 10 activated Orange sims for 2.50 free post , so cool if your orange, or unlocked mobile

You can pick up an unlocked mobile cheap as chips.

Cheap as chips eh

How much credit do you reckon you should have on your new mobile phone/number when starting a stealth account? I currently have a number, totally unused and unrelated to ebay, which I just use to receive calls (bought it off ebay with credit, it ran out, never put any more on as I think I had to register details to do that? All I remember is it wasn't as simple as "go to shop, buy credit, put on phone.") and thought this would be ok, as they would just use it to call me. But of course I'm thinking it's probably wise to have the ability to actually call ebay/paypal from this phone too?!

Also the post a few up "However if your going to lift the limits on paypal remeber you will need a landline number though but you already know this im sure" noooooooo say it ain't so heheh! From reading the guide many times, I thought you only needed a mobile number and should stay away from landlines? So you can save giving your landline number until when you need to lift paypal limits? If so, what is the limit you get on paypal without providing a landline, only a mobile number?
