Confirming ebay identity By Phone (UK Users)

Imposter · #1 12-03-2010

set up an account on Freeads.co.uk - Classified ads , place Free Ads place an ad with call forwarding, every ad you place you get a new number.

And it's FREE

Hope this helps guys

can you confirm this defo works yer ? anygood for pp do you no

MadSam · #3 12-03-2010

It only spits out a mobile number - no good for eBay or PayPal.

Imposter · #4 12-04-2010

I can confirm that this DOES work with EBAY but not with paypal as they require a landline number. With paypal you just confirm your location with a VCC, look in the 'Accounts for sale' section of this forum. I buy mine from 'Lakeman' for $11 (£7.25).

Couldn't even list a free add on freeadds.co.uk .

When i tried to list the add it kept saying i had made an error and deleting my place name and postcode, i checked and re-checked but there was no error!
It also wouldn't let me create an account, when i clicked the register button it said you donot need an account to register a free add , but how did it know i wanted to register an add in the first place why couldnt i just register ??
Ridiculous !!
What happened to tesco internet mobile !

Hmm try it again on another web browser, I created my account over a year ago to sell cars & ive set up over 10 ebay accounts by creating new listings on freeads, the last one I made was today :/

Give me your email address & I will make you an account & i'll PM you the password :D:D:D

I can confirm that the freeadds numbers work with both ebay and amazon verification in the UK.
Many thanks to the thread starter imposter , it's innovations like this that keep us going.

I am a little confused

You set an ad and use your home phone or mobile? This verifies Ebay account only not Paypal?

ebayalien · #12 01-24-2011

Is this the only working method we have currently?

You set up an account on freeads & give them your 'real' mobile number, place an ad this will generate a forwarding mobile number, give ebay the forwarding number (will begin with 07036) & that will forward all call to that number to 'your' real mobile number.

Hope this helps

What about the IP thing where you had a previous account?

Does not work with a paypal account as you need a landline number for that, with regards to the IP address its best you purchse the Stealth Book from aspkin & that will tell you everything you need to know.

I strongly sugest you read it before creating any new accounts.

I have the ebook three years ago but its out of date.

Will a Payphone work for Paypal?
IT did 3 years ago course things change and are blocked

ebayalien · #19 02-01-2011

I never saw the call forwarding option when I made a free ad?
Do we have to manually choose it or is it automatic?

This is the first time by the way I signed up to Freeads and not confirmed my account yet.

I cannot see the landline number Freeads give you anywhere?

ebayalien · #20 02-01-2011

I cannot see the landline number on Freeads ?

OK now I sorted it

You actually have to do a free ad first then confirm your account and then make another ad and then view he ad and the number will be on the ad

LOL
Only thing I have to figure out now HolyMoly is how to verify a Paypal account?

I just dont have a landline or forwarding number and I dont think Freeads works with PP as OP said
