Paypal - Confirm location via landline?
 

any new information on this? The stealth book doesnt seem to have any. Can I just call and have them send me a letter as I dont have a landline. its a UPS box, or would the UPS ppl let me use their number?

What kind of phone number are you using now?

call 888 forwarding number but that doesnt work...

You can also change the address when you get this and have them send a pin code.

have they actually asked you to do this yet?

here in uk the phone confirmation is by-passed by 'upload documents'

did anyone figure out the landline solution for US paypal?

don't need a landline, you can use Google Voice.

Google Voice?!!!!!really?!!!! really?!!really?!!

No for me at least google voice does not work to confirm location, everyone keeps saying google voice but this is for the confirm location part of paypal not just a number for the account

I seem to be missing something here, since when does Paypal require a phone number to confirm a location?

If you add a CC, Vba or real Bank Account, that's it.

nope that is not it, not often but they can give you a request to confirm location with a phone and it has to be a landline, they send a call to it and you have to enter a code they give you when the call comes in

dan'

this depends on how the account is created I think.

If a user makes an account with a made up name and an address in no data-base then a confirm location happens.

Days of make-believe info being used by would be sellers caused this.
paypal needs to have a level of trust in an account.
:juggle:

Yes i can believe that is a possible reason but the only way i can beat it now without a landline is the gas station trick

Someone help us all

Define 'help us all' please.

You define how you make an account and what happens that you get the issue from paypal.

:spy:

You dont know the definition of help us all? This is a us accounr and the request comes in many different spots.
1 when you try to buy something and checkout with ebay checkout
2 account gets limited and this is one of the limits
3 after you receive a payment

There is no place II would say that is specific but happens

Again, this comes back to how is the paypal account in question made?

I am aware of the many many posts regarding this. In no way do I doubt there is a problem. I just double-checked something.

I have not noticed a post saying
I made my account in this manner......
and there was a description, word by word of what was done.
It would be helpful to have that info

:juggle:

This is a real issue and if anyone who really makes a lot of US accounts they see this often.

My ip is great
My address is a real res address
My accounts all have confirmed cards
All have boa accounts
My accounts all have sep users
Names are stealth but sim to and in some way pdc connected to the address
All first items sold are .99 start used non trademarkedd items in low risk categories
Never sell anything over 100 until 90 days is up and 21 day hold lifted
And this ban can come anywhere in this process day 2 or day 90
Phones are tracs all forwarded to a phone i answer without fail
If i am missing something please tell me ?

I'm merely re-capping your post, dan'.....

paypal puts a limit on the account.

Not time specific.

Said account may have had some transactions previously. Amounts not super high risk.

Questions:
at time of account creation was the phone number that got put on the account new ( as far as you could tell)?

is paypal verified?

is the info on ebay/paypal the same?

has ebay ever contacted you via the tracfone?

With the transactions that cause paypal to flag the account, has there been problems?
:peace:

Sorry i answered weird in the quote but i hope it makes sense

Sure did.....

Darn question is still why?

What makes paypal 'interrupt' a buying transaction and act like the account holder is using an account that is unverified or unconfirmed?

Any of these transactions for digital goods?
:spy:

No normal low risk and sometimes not even during a transaction

Is the internet access via VPN or VPS or otherwise?

:spy:

Vps is the main way but normal dsl as well

How many accounts have been involved with a specific supply a landline request that were being run on VPS?

Did any of the accounts run on both VPS and DSL?

Not meaning to be confusing, did you interchange internet access for paypal usage?

I have a feeling but need more info.

:spy:

This is not an error or stealth mistake it is just what paypal does

I am going to support Danshan here....There is not so much about avoiding this call, but about passing the verification.

This happens on real non-stealth accounts with substantial history behind them on both Ebay and Paypal. Accounts that are 5+ years old and have everything on file SS+bank+CC....and not even a hint of a VBA or VCC, all real brick and mortar bank/credit cards. On such accounts, PayPal most of the time asks for a full number of the credit card or bank account on file once you press "cancel" on the phone confirmation page. Try pressing cancel on your accounts if there is history behind them and they have a bank or credit card on file.

Thing is, it is a ridiculous check(the landline part specifically), as many real non-stealth users have experienced it and complained about it...it is on various forums on the net.

The gas station trick surprised me, to be honest, as the phone number would be landline, but couldn't possibly pass the match on name or address...why would PP call the number then? Those who tried it, was the number the same area code, zip code as the address on file with PP?

Seems a direction would be to look towards business numbers then.

And to Greenbean, it does happen often after a period of dormancy or IP/computer change with the account in question...BUT...it also happened to me on legit accounts as described above, that has seen nothing but one IP/computer for years...once a withdrawal request has been made and tripped some internal amount limit.

Never got this fixed ? Anybody got any updates

Doesn't look like anyone will deal with it...seems we are the only ones with the problem :)

Explain why people who do NOT have the issue need to deal with it?

Other USA users are posting they are not having issues and can get accounts made without this issue of a landline for paypal.

Have you posted your methods anywhere & what happened to cause this?

:juggle:

It's a problem because you are making it a problem, Your trying to Verify a "STEALTH" account! Just do 2-3 day verification, I promise it won't hurt.

Has nothing to do with confirming bank it is to confirm location

Im not sure why but no one will give this secret out

Since when do you need to verify your location with a phone? maybe you mean Ebay??? I've made a few hundred Paypal accounts and never had to verify location with Paypal...Yes you need to add a phone number but never had paypal call me.

it is a very normal limitation many people have it

Still doing the landline thing in 2013.

Lol paypal.

yes and there is a trick to it and I hope someone shares it

Bump to see if anyone can help

I've seen this question around the forum as well, and I've never understood it because I've never ran into this??

Weird, but hopefully one of us can figure it out

I hope so as well really nit a common limitation but does happen often enough
