How to bypass ebay phone verification?

[sancorp]

Hello,

I am not based in the USA (I am in France) and the sellers provide USA ebay/paypal accounts.

When I make a listing, before posting it, Ebay sends a PIN to a USA phone, but as I have not one, I cannot do the verification and therefore selling is impossible.
How can I bypass this?

Thx.

You need to get a virtual USA number, something like google voice works EXTREMELY well. You can answer the phone online or you can get another number that will forward a number you have in France.

Do some googling... You'll find plenty of solutions.


edit - there is no way around it.

You are wrong, you cannot get an sms PIN with googlevoice.

Google Voice can accept Text Messages so it should work.

You are choosing to list on eBay USA. It is up to you to find the best method of having a phone service

Phones can not be bypassed.
Options exist and must be used if not you do not get an account to work correctly

I hope I do not find out you did not tell an account seller such important info as not being truly located in the USA

You have done something wrong

Because you put the wrong flag on your profile, you made troubles for yourself

Flag is to match the country of IP

Yours is actually France

You pretended to be USA based

That broke a forum requirement

That is not what should happen

We need the right info to try to make sure users get the right help

Make sure your flag stays as FRANCE

If you need to bypass phone verification, you can get a temporary phone number from http://textita.com that can be used to verify your social media accounts.
