So... Does Google Voice work?

[vogeltron]

Google voice works fine. Especially once you past the initial stages for eBay. Limit increase 40-50 feedback.

I personally prefer to use tracfones to start accounts. But most the time I dump them after my account is good and strong 5-6 months in. And use google voice to save some money.

I have now 20 us stealth running with 20 gv numbers. No issues at all.

None are connected to a cell phone anymore. I just let it go to voicemail and call back if urgent.

I ran into issues creating so many google voice numbers from same ip/phone number. Sandy suggested to look at youtube for tutorials on how to by pass and it worked like a charm.

Nice john456 - have you had any voicemails left by pp or eB at all?

[john456]

Yes. I have had "Brad" calling several eb accounts to congratulate me on my first sale. I had forgotten to turn off 'do not call' from eb settings.

He's nice though.

I added 'do not call from ebay' to my excel sheet.....reduce chances of being trapped.

Ha proper - also got a call from this "Brad" on a US account that turned to selling recently.

My customer service is managed by several people. They all sign with the same fictitious name. Common practice.

Where do we do this within our ebay accounts?

Do the following...

1. click on Accounts
2. select Communication Preferences
3. scroll down to Promotions and Surveys
4. expand the "show" link & uncheck the box that says "Phone updates and promotions"


Phone updates and promotions
Call me about eBay programs like seller specials and other special events and oppurtunities. (If you're a seller, clearing this box means you may not receive some news, information, and invitations designed to help your sales on eBay.)

Haha those "Brad" calls remind me of "TOM" from MySpace several years back. Funny as hell.

It is fine.

Issue is usually with the user.

If you already know how to use GV, you will be fine.

Should it ever stop working, expect explosions and screams of horror.

Lets just hope that the head haunch at the palace and head haunch at Googs don't come to that million dollar agreement.
