Wouldn't recommend it. Skype is one of the most commonly known online phone service, and it was formerly owned by eBay before Microsoft bought it.

update:
Today I made 3 accts: 1 got 0/0, 1 got 10/1k, 1 got unlimited (last week I have some accts got unlimited, but after try to list, ebay will remove listing and email about my account is restricted<--- so confused this acc type)

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Updates...

2/2 10/1K today using Gvoice to test... so that's 6/6 in last 2 days with Gvoice.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

There's no such thing as accounts with no limits. Even if a selling limit isn't visible in your selling page, there are still internal limits that triggers suspension or a manual account review if you try to sell above it.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Did you have any dificultly when get NEW Gvoice in last week, I can't get any NEW Gvoice within 5 days.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

once.... but i cleared cookies and logged back in and everything was fine.

Today the SMS confirmation from ebay wasn't working for me. Google has been making getting Gmail & Gvoice # more difficult, so maybe this is more in that direction?!?!?

This was my experience, but it needs to be confirmed by others if they are blocking ebay SMS.

The above being said, I only use Gvoice for disposable accounts I could care less about, I prefer to use prepaid cell phones.

SO STRANGE as i cannot make an account with GV without 0/0 limit! Sendhub, txt+, GV… 0/0 every time.

Tracfone or diff phone service, no problems. 8/8 so far.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Thanks for reporting back guys.

It seems to be more clear now that large swathes of known and abused free phone numbers are having a bigger impact on new accounts.

I feel there is a system in place that puts points towards certain account behaviors that can impact an accounts selling limits at the very least. And it seems eBay may have increased the impact of using used and abused well known phone numbers.

Now some people are having issues and others not so much.. so let's imagine a point system and if your account surpasses a certain threshold, it's zero'd out and reviewed. The better you create your account the better it stands against this system.

It's interesting how things are shaping.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

last year, I have this issue for about 10 accounts, but then about 3 months, I login again and see all 10 account up from 0/0 to 5/$500. hope will same last year for 0/0 new accts

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

I wouldnt be surprised - as aspkin said - the free numbers are heavily abused and eb/pp could have made moves to EASILY ID the numbers and flag them

Yes 6/6 with GVoice by the other user...that is something

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

It's not just the free numbers, I was also getting 0/0 with paid forwarding numbers last week!

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Looks like its tracfone or att prepaid for me. Thanks for all the help by everyone to figure this out.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now

So it seems like it's nothing but prepaid phones now?

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

15 for 15 so far since this whole fiasco started.........

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

All prepaid phones or what MM?

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

If you are NOT going to help the rest of the forum with this issue then don't rub it in everyone else's face.
That is NOT very polite.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

I finally got an account that was 10 / $1000.

Real Name
Real address
Real EIN for PP
Real CC with above address connected
PP confirmed by checking deposits.
Purchased 1 item on ebay
3 days......
Turned ebay account into seller account.
USED TRAC PHONE.....
This was the only thing I did different this time.....

So I will not be using GV or any other forwarding system any longer.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
