Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

I agree that fully verified accounts are the safest in general. But as far as the 0/0 limit is concerned (at least in my experience) it is solely related to the phone service used, as I have successfully made almost 30 unverified accounts since this problem started simply by switching away from free services like google voice, text+, and send hub.

In addition, I have lost 4 ebay accounts (each linked to a verified and confirmed paypal account) to the 0/0 limit when using services such as google voice, text+, and send hub as my phone number.

I can attest to what nodeal is seeing as well.

G voice, text+, etc have a set database of numbers that they are pulling from. I am guessing ebay got ahold of this db within the last two months.

Best to spend a few extra bucks and get an area code close to where the address is.

All the CVS around me always keep only one $4.99 phone in stock. it is
the LG 440G. I stop by every few weeks and I see another one
waiting for me. I am probably the only one around who purchase
these. In the stores that I visit the $4.99 phones are still labeled
with the price of $14.99. Once I go to the cashier and she scans it
the price is $4.99

On official tracfone site LG 800G costs $5. You can get 6 at a time. It is reconditioned phone. What does that mean? Is that number been recycled before with this ESN or what? Is it same one guys you pirchase at stores?

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Just copy and pasted this from google. "A reconditioned, or refurbished, cellphone is a pre-owned phone that has been returned either because the buyer changed their mind during the first 30 days after purchase, or because it had some sort of defect. These phones are brought back to as-new condition and are fully tested before being sold as a reconditioned phone." The common $5 tracfone in stores is the LG 440G and there's also the $10 samsung.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Are these phones in stores brand new or also reconditioned ? Or if it's hard to say, does it lookl like brand new (package etc) ?

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

They are new. Otherwise they would have to tell you they are reconditioned.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Do you think I should try buying from off site? There's still a chance jt was returned and became reconditioned without using it for ebay, just regular people?

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

It means the phone has been used before, or was faulty. Previous owner returned it. Phone was then repaired ( if needed) reset to factory default settings & resold with a warranty.

Good bargain if the price is right.

Get a new sims card if needed....

What about all these cheap phones like tracfone? If they come with GSM phones, will I be able just put sim to my unlocked phone, so not to collect tons of phones ?

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

yes it should work,with an unlocked phone, you can also purchase cheap unlocked phones with 2 or 3 sim cards

so when u make a call it will ask which you would like to use

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

2 or 3 sim card slots is a good feature

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Any updates with the 0/0 accounts still being handed out??

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

I haven't had a single 0/0 since this thread began :thumb:

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Hate you prowakeskater :FF: just kidding - good stuff.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

had 2 of my accounts get the 0/0 out of 10, noticed its most likely because of updating number at the verification page (my first number had like 5 number two's in it, so messed up there when i updated it when they asked for pin).
second time i noticed is when they sent the pin to the number it didnt go through clicked again to verify, system froze for like 5 seconds, after it went through to payapl, but gave me the 0/0 afterwords

all other accounts had no issue since pin was sent the first time.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

A week ago I was having huge problems with 0/0'd accounts. I was 3/9 in account creation last week, with 3 successes and 6 0/0'd.

I just started messing with the system a little bit to see what might get around it and what might not..... and I am now 3/3 for successful creations for the day.

No major secrets, nothing fancy. I'll let you know if these accounts get reverted back to 0/0.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

I am also a victim of an 0/0. This time I decided to contact ebay yesterday during the busiest time and couldn't reach anyone. I wanted to take a chance and called them again this morning and according to the recording I heard, regarding my account, I have reached the limits for this month; however, the recording also stated that I am getting an increase in 30 days. I have decided to leave the account alone and not speak to anyone and check again on 10/9/2014. Any thoughts?

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

First time I have ever heard that they use an automated message to tell you about increases. Maybe the season is nearing and they are losening their belt.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

This never happens. As the holiday season comes closer they only get more and more strict.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

In light of that info I will go back and check a couple of my 0/0 accounts and see if anything has changed. Keep you all posted.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

wow just tried to list on 2 accounts and got 0/0. My accounts a made 3 weeks ago I have no issues, got 10/10 on them both.

I'll also leave mine and see if it will auto increase to the 10/10.
