the guest trick can be used one time, then rejects a valid card. So, I'm hopeful that funding & landline will clear up these issues.

What about the fact that the stealth address you've used possibly has a telephone number attached to it that PP has cross referenced from public records & hence they are expecting you to call from that number for that address ???

This looks a most plausible explanation to me so far.

I have a quick question, when you add phone number to PP they give you a pin via phone call or text msg?

Btw, another poster is having identical issue.

The OP in that thread originally had a mobile number from the outset, in your case I was thinking you had a call forwarding number (i.e a local landline number) which forwarded to your mobile number or where ever.
Similar possibly in the SMS issue.

Similar possibly in the SMS issue. | Hi, started off with a tracphone: rejected. Then, a cellphone: rejected. 3rd attempt was a virtual callforwarding to my landline: rejected.
And, I did confirm the cellphone with paypal's code, and still this number is rejected. All the while paypal stated needed a landline.
Put a $15 per month landline in today, we'll see if that works. I won't know until tomorrow, when it is hooked up.

This does sound like a nightmare, I am wondering if this is something new happening to the US marketplace.

Surely pp must realize that alot of people have cut landlines and rely strictly on mobile nowadays. Im in process of getting my ducks lined up for first stealth account and im interested in the outcome here..my plan was to use forwarding number on google voice.

PV, you used a mobile phone to register, my instinct would have been to have used the forwarding landline number on registration & have this forwarded to the mobile line.

I have registered a new google voice number so far, that is all. It has a matching area code to stealth address. I have it set to forward calls to this google number to my mobile. Didnt register with eb or pp as of yet. Need to figure out other issues before i do that. I dont want to mess anything up at first, as i am known for that. Haha.

hmm, OK, I had though you had already done this.......So your issues are hypothetical then for the moment. ..
EDITS:
actually I had mixed you with this folk who has a similiar issue as the OP has: http://www.aspkin.com/forums/subscri...r-account.html
I believe you will be 'OK' due your use of a GV number matching your stealth address area code. This 'GV' approach appears to work for the moment.

So, if having issues due to phone verify, fund account from linked bank account, and seems to be running much smoother now.
I will update this thread if anything changes...

Adding funds to p/p from a linked stealth bank account could result in a major problem if the name on the bank account is not the same as that on the p/p account.
Sort of giving the game away really

I read your post just above and stated early on in this thread that something just was not adding up because forcing a land line would be a major issue for everyone. Eb knows almost everyone these days does not have a landline.
I was hoping you could get this worked out because if this was something new then many of us would be having to change a lot of things quickly.
Now that you might have it worked out get to work on backups.
Props to you for working so hard on this and not giving up.

My linked account is a business account, & it still went thru. But, if I didn't have a business account, just a personal checking with a different last name, I could see that causing issues.
Still thinking of cheap office space with multiple landlines for about 4 stealth accounts down the road, all the best.

I am creating accounts almost every single day and have never had this issue.
There is something you are doing for them to ask for this. Dont know what but something is triggering it.

I was able to make payments as long as I had a funded account, however, if I wanted to use a credit card, all previous numbers (prepaid, cell, virtual) were useless.
Thankfully, I had a landline installed this morning, so when the verification popped up, I was able to add a real landline & confirm.
I truly think this is going to be more of an issue going forward.......
