Think about it, if you had a roommate, couldn't they have their own landline phone number....hint, hint.

I put my delivery address as billing address, with variation of my name. Paypal does want billing address to match delivery address, along with CC billing address. Match everything up.

Caller ID shows stealth name also.

Forgot to add: landline is at my home address, which has been banned by ebay. Billing address is different.

Only risk is, you don't know until you try whether the new landline number has been linked to banned account. Just have to try.

There must be some type of filter for this, I have a new method of collecting about $650 in sales before I even open a paypal account. I can get this amount in about 3 days of selling, once I open the paypal account within minutes the money shows up and I purchase prepaid visas online and usually within a day paypal shuts me down. I find that if I let $700 or more in paypal it automatically limits me and if I have it for even 3 or 4 days it limits me so this has been the best method for me as I already get what I need to get 15 minutes after opening the paypal account. Now it is telling me to verify a phone before I can purchase, sucks but I guess they want a landline. I already verified a phone number with paypal code and all but for purchasing they want this. I am thinking they added a filter for sellers who either get a lot of money in a very short period of time or if they are trying to buy something right after they opened their paypal. Is anyone getting this message and already have a buying history?

It took a number of purchases before I no longer had to use verify code. At least a month, if not longer. I guess I need to build up a pattern, & with all the CC fraud, they want a landline. I could not find a way around this.

If a landline is the problem, what about the Magic Jack?

Landline is not the problem, rather, the solution.

Well I had the infamous landline problem and kept getting the error message also, I changed the address on paypal slightly and tried to order again and it went through, Keep in mind an hour before that I tried and it gave me the phone confirmation error. I purchase vanilla visas from walmart,It could be a coincidence but I am happy I was able to move a few hundred dollars that was stuck in paypal.

I've tried flynumber.com with Craigslist but it didnt work. Could you recommend me something?

I dont need to make a purchase, I have a "buyers account" for that. I only make sellers account. And yes, I have made some selling on those 3 accounts. The accounts are in cool down mode now and will wait until next month to fully sell. And these accounts dont even have a bank account attached, but a credit card.

And I have never used a landline in my life to verify ebay. You guys are doing something wrong. flynumber.com still works and google voice still works on my end.

My experience is well-documented. I believe newer accounts to PURCHASE WITH CC will need a land-line. I am in the midst of opening up several new purchasing accounts, and I will post my paypal phone verification experiences/hassles as I go along.

does magic jack work for paypal telephone verification ?????

@starapparel,

What country's paypal?

:spy:

If your trying to tell me to use a land line to verify everything in ebay/paypal land, then you are mistaken. I have never used a land line to verify anything with ebay/paypal.

And why are you opening up many/several "purchase" accounts when 1 works fine. What are you trying to do, become some "power buyer" so you can just snap your fingers and ebay/paypal will come with coffee and cookies. The cookies are old and the coffee is from last week.

When you open a "buyers/purchase" ebay account you dont even need to verify your phone number. I can make one in under 3 minutes with a slow 3g phone connection.

paypal sometimes makes you call to confirm location when sending money or making a purchase, not the same thing as making a seller account, any phone will work for that but for confirming location in paypal.

I'm trying to come up with the same thing, anyone know how how to confirm location using magic jack?

Try the app 'Pinger' for the iPhone. Works perfect for me and you can keep getting a new number by creating new usernames...real simple, free, and never had an issue.

Great Idea: Packattack12

Sweet idea Packattack

Anyone got one for UK? Pinger is US only :(

paypal is really starting to crack down. It's getting harder and harder to purchase things. This new phone verification is new and is a pain in my ass. So many accounts limited because I've been going back nd forth trying to get the damn phone land line verification to go through.

I hear you on that! Just shut down my account I use to purchase.

HI, may I ask why shut down? Was it due to not having a landline?

I have over 200 numbers, free never paid for. trackphones are a good way to start multiple google voice numbers, but once you have just 1 google voice number, you can get millions of numbers free if you know the right companys online.
