How do you phone verifiy?
 

How do you guys phone verify for stealth accounts? I have used all of my landlines cells and friends! Whats the cheapest method i live in Canada so any advice.
Thanks

In US, it's Tracfone. Cost $9.95. It comes with 10min good for 60days.

is there activation fee with that?

You cant verify paypal with cell phones anymore. It sent me a message that you cant verify with cell phone must be a land line. So I went to neighbors house and called and verified it with his phone. not sure how it works in canada but thats what happened this week in america.

This is not true. You can verify ebay with contracted mobile numbers. It is only certain services that do not allow this. Many, many cell phones work with ebay including tracfone.


Phone.com works great, as well as vumber, google voice, Sprint, Verizon, ATT, their respected prepay services....

I was using tracphones, but found it much cheaper to use vumber..

I just verified my account with straight talk Pre paid "cell phone"

I use Vumber its cheap and I can change numbers whenever I want

So Ebayhasnt caught on to Vumber?

Someone said it was no good.


Can you confirm that it works 100%


Thanks


PayPal is destroying my life....lol....

will vumbr charge you if you cancel before 14 days?

Bizzy, They do put a charge on your card to see if you have enough funds on it. But they will remove the charge, within a few days.

I use Vumber...they are great!

First Edition thanks for clarification
 

I tried again and was able to get att verified as well as sprint and others.
I had some trouble with tmobile so if anyone has issues with tmobile let us know. sometimes I think ebay system is screwed up too.thanks guys.

What if they ask you to call them to verify? ?

who, ebay or vumber?


If you plan on using an account long term, use a service that is paid monthly.

Keep in mind its good idea to have access to the phone to dial out
 

When you know what to expect you can be prepared.
Keep in mind ebay may require you to CALL THEM on new accounts.
It will help your cause if you call ebay from the number you have on file trust me it helps.
For example You can be using the phone at your girlfriends job at her desk or go wherever you have to go to get it done. When I called them they called my name before I said hello. Meaning they are using caller id to the highest extent. Then they asked me a couple of questions and it was back on again within minutes.
thank you guys for all the bright ideas I havent tried them yet but will and will report back.

*67 prepended to phone number makes the call appear private

I've been using AT&T cell phones to verify. Most friends won't mind if you use their number to get the PIN.

However, I'm starting to run out of friends too. Hopefully if I can get accounts set up the right way, I won't have to keep doing it over and over again.

I chose one of the suggested options in the stealth book. It's easy to find if you look them up online. First month free. (great for people who have little money to start up) First phone number 10 USD a month and 5 USD for every other one. You can pick the area code for your number. Delete and add numbers at your convenience. I just have all the numbers forwarded to my home landline. So far works GREAT!!!

My local Big Lots had tracfones for $5 with 20 minutes and had a sale for 20% off...I should have bought everyone that they had left

what's phone about you talk ???

tossabledigits.com, i just change number whenever i need it, cheap and simple. i delete it when im done w it. They have intl and 1800 numbers and extensions. And outcalls. i love it

Has anyone tried a googlevoice number yet?

Yes, googlevoice works very well.

need a workaround
 

I have a new stealth account made by someone else and I need to verify by phone. I tried to verify via email and ebay tells me (Sorry, you exceeded the number of verification attempts allowed. Please confirm your ID using one of the available options or contact eBay customer support and an agent will help you complete this process) and the email button is grayed out. So I opened a my1voice account and had a same area# forwarded to my pad and I get teh same result. Now Im down to the # the account was opened with and I dont have access to that.

SHould I re-open another my1voice with the # that ebay has then forward that to me ? or how could that work ?

What is one of the available options to confirm the account?

DId the account come ready to sell, or are they asking you to verify ID?

yes it was ready and verified, Ebay says they dont recognize where im coming from.
The last option is to verify by ebay calling the # the account was setup with and that is not available to me.

Got it figured out, just had to "get immediate help" and verify my account info threw thier customer rep chat session. all good now
