Finally! Here is the info you want on How to get a phone number for ebay!

[amysol]

I read and read on here and was still clueless on what to do for a phone number and for if I had to call in to ebay. The info was in different threads, but nothing solid and concise so I hope this helps.

GOOGLE VOICE:

So far I have 3 google voice numbers associated to 1 cell phone. I still have my husband's cell, daughter's sell and house line that I can use so I will be able to get plenty of google voice accounts. But, so far 3 to one line.

I DO NOT forward my google voice to my cell as I wasn't able to come up with a way for the google voice recording to be heard when calling google number without it also being heard when people call my regular cell line. SO I set up a google message, set the line to ring (this is important so that ebay doesn't get the message please wait while we locate the google voice subscriber). So when you call this google number, in rings 5 times then voicemail message specific to that number just like no one is home.

To place outbound call to ebay or paypal with google voice number:

Easy breezy....I downloaded google voice app on my iphone. Log into the google voice account associated with the ebay account you need to call and dial ebay from inside the app, not from your regular phone key pad. I checked by calling my house to make sure that it showed my google caller id number and it did. All this took me less than 120 seconds to do.

I hope this helps! :-)

Is there a way to forward the google voice to an international number so that when eb/pp calls or text the US gv number I can receive the call or text on my android smart phone?

I am trying to figure out how to get rid of that message "please wait while google voice locates"

I am pretty sure when ebay calls (and they will...they solicit non stop) that will be a big red flag

The "please wait" recording is a function of call screening. Try this to disable call screening...

• Click the gear icon at the top right of any Google Voice page
• Click the Settings link, and select the Calls tab.
• Select the 'Off' radio button option in the Call Screening section.
• Click Save Changes.

You mean that turn off the screening call and we still use forwarding to own cell phone number ?

No, you can do it through the web browser on your smart phone. But you won't get notified if Ebay calls you.

Try text+ or send hub, the thing with send hub u get 60 free min and X amount of texts just hit call for the ebay pin not text, but I use all the other VOIP and both options work and use that number as ur home phone with Paypal
