What method to use for Ebay Phone Verification?
 

Hello,

This is my first post. I've read the forum and did searches and also purchased the Ebay Stealth book.

What is the current updated method for phone verifications with Ebay. I've seen trac phone, vnumber (no longer working), etc.

Thanks

My1voice works well for ebay. Pretty cheap too!

Do you have a link to my1voice?

thanks

Sure do! Here ya go my1voice - virtual Phone Service for Small Business

How does it work if you are assigned an extension. I signed up for the free 30 trial and they gave me a local number and an extension. Will this work for the Ebay phone verification?

change the "Type" value from Auto Attendant to Extension. After you changed that value, the call will go through directly.

Where can I change "Type" setting. I'm logged into my account and I'm trying to find it?
Thanks for the reply

Ok, I think I found it. But does the caller have to listen to the recording 3 times before it's automatically forwarded? Is there a way around this? thanks

They won't listen any recording, it will go straight transfer to your phone after you update the TYPE setting. I tested it 2 days ago and works on eBay.

bluemoon999, do you know in which menu should i fill the number where i want my calls to be forwarded? or the calls will be forwarded to the account phone number i have registered with ?

have anyone deleted my post?

The new post or the reply you did on 07:44 AM? I can still see the 07:44 AM one.

If you want to know more info/steps about updating/changing the account info, just call their support#. They will answer within 3 seconds and give you quicker and accurate help.

Can you use on of those throw away phones that you add minutes to? The kind you get at the local party store?

Recently, PP has been giving me the msg that cell phones cannot be used to confirm location anymore. Tracfone shows up as a cell phone. Thus, forwarding service (into the tracfone) is required.

Ebay has called me on my cell phone in the past, but I need a land-line for the paypal.

Does paypal and ebay share information other than CC numbers for payments?

I got slammed recently using one phone # on Ebay and a different one on Paypal. The original phone used for Ebay ran out of mins. I bought a new one for Paypal. When A problem did occur with my Paypal acct.....they did not use the # I provided them. They called the Burned out phone # I used for Ebay. Within minutes, my account was history. I am now a suspicious scammer needing to provide 12 resolution items. in order to be restored. Only $300 in there...Kiss It!!!

Assume they share EVERYTHING. They're one and the same. :typing:

I have Majicjack and its seems to work OK. Much cheap than the rest.

Can you set your own area code with magic jack (or any of these services?). I need to confirm the location of one of my stealth accoun ts and its in another state. Is that going to be possible? I thought I was good with my tmobile prepaid, because I had a local area code on it, but paypal knew immediately it was a cell phone and refused it =(

You can choose from a list of available area codes. Not all areas are available, though. So trying to find one to match an existing city you used on PP might be a problem.

For creating a new PP, you can pick your phone first, then use an address on PP registration that matches to THAT.

yeah. I'm fine with making new accounts and getting them verified. I'm just having difficulty now getting 1 account off limitation because of the whole land line requirement they put into place. I just need a low cost solution to that right now. I guess magicjack will be a fall back idea. I'm going to try call forwarding first I think. I'm leaning towards using ringcentral. Anyone have any better ideas, or idea if they'll work for my needs?
