Just did some housework tidying up the chat. Improved everything. ;)

Question for you Under:

Have you thought of arranging a type of 'depot/drop off' place?

You mentioned a friend. Ever thought of joining with him to get around the 'meet in person?'

We used do that in Seattle. :noidea:

It does that is why I am shipping more and more.

Just take a 6'4" 250 pd man with arms like tree trunks with you like I do sometimes and you wont have any problems. :fight:

Do you know when is the last time he used the Boost number successfully? As stated before, my V-Mobs were fine all last month. Then again, as Sandy D stated, they seem to be rolling this new block out slowly so maybe some people are still not affected yet. I know Boost only charges $5 per number change and sometimes if the representative is nice, you can convince them to do it for free.

Also, ever tried using the fax for a verification phone call? I did not think of that, but it should work...

I was getting the verification code about every 5 listings so changing your number might not work.

One IP, one e-mail and one phone number per account. That's already known. Then once competition flags it too many times, your account becomes "pink" and only takes one person with one IP to take down all of your listings after that.

Then you have to create new IP, new e-mail and new phone number all over again to recreate a new, strong account that can withstand flagging. You can list around 4 items before they request verification via phone.

I honestly don't get any verifications at all. I list things all the time. I space them out about hr or 2 each listing. Sometimes I will do 4 In a hr. Maybe its my accounts so old or Im just lucky.

Yea, the time periods in which you list items does play a part. Since I sell a lot of items, it's hard spending the time to separate everything. Usually I am in a rush so of course every time I get verification requests.

Longevity could definitely help your accounts. I just have never had the opportunity to keep a longstanding account that hasn't been flagged to death. Sometimes I can't even sell simple things without getting flagged. I don't understand it, but the market here is quite brutal some times. For example, I have been trying to sell a simple Mo.toro.la RAZR flip phone for just $30 for almost a month and was getting flagged down every other day. I finally sold it, but I know there was nothing against TOS in my listing. There never is. My listings are always very simple with no advertisements or promotional spamming.

Stupid stuff like that is why I have to keep creating new accounts. it makes no sense, but there is no way to fight it since it is all community controlled, for the most part. Some times my listings last for days or weeks and some times they get flagged down instantly by competition.

I messed with this this morning and could not get past the first item on any new account.

On a few old ones I got to 3-4 items listed and got the code request.

For me to operate with multiple pps I need to find a way around the stupid phone issue.

I had no idea people actually pay to have things shipped. For me though it has always been a place to sell large things, furniture, workout equipment and such. Never thought much about shipping...

Is there a craigslist type forum?

The one on their site is useless. People who know anything don't talk and the rest of it is just n00bs and people complaining about nonsense all day. 99% of the people there have zero intelligence.

LMAO.

I have several buyers from all over the place for a certain category and believe me they are all over it. I get several emails a day asking if I have found anymore.
I have to be careful because I sell to the same people from different names, addresses, pp etc.

I get flagged for overposting everyday. Account is running fine however for 4 years.

^^^ We aren't talking about spamming. Plus, using the same account for 4 years means your listings can be killed by 1-2 IPs. So none of that is relevant.

Meaning overposting shouldn't get you suspended. Prohibited will.

tracfone works great
