I have called in on female accounts as a male. They are not allowed to pass judgements based on voice.

next time, please specify at the time of purchase. Its not our duty to know exactly what you are looking for, we would have far too many questions.

Did you specify you wanted a male names account? If the answer is no, then why the hell would he have made a male account for you?

I assumed it was a standard to give out male accounts. Never thought a man could pull off talking to a Rep on a females account. Misunderstandings happen and the forums are the place to debate on and resolve any questions pertaining to them. The issue has been resolved and there is no further need to continue the debate.

Assuming everything should be male...you're asking for some controversy with statements like that.

I see... But I honestly think it would depend on the Agent you get. Ive had times (myself) when speaking to Customer Service agents that were much more laid back and easygoing then others. Other times I even had a problem with my Sister getting her account started (helped by me over the phone) and the REP would question who I was and if I had permission from the owner to be helping. I understand some people might not run into an issue in regards to this...

But think about it for a second. Will a female be selling mens pants and gun holsters? Would a female have a browsing history of "hot babe posters"? I also want my customers to know a man with EXPERIENCE in firearms/man stuff is selling them their items. I don't want to have my listing be done from a females point of view (yet alone shipped under a females name). There WILL BE men out their (sexist men) that will question my business since I'm registered under a female account (ESPECIALLY IF THE ACCOUNT IS A FEMALE NAME).

And I just simply don't want to cross my fingers when speaking to a rep. I will get nervous and who knows, I might have a mental breakdown. We're talking about a stealth account that I WOULDN'T want to lose! I don't want ANY suspicions what-so-ever and I'm sure other people wouldn't want them as well.

(P.S I don't want to sound sexist, but I would be MUCH more confident myself buying an antique WW2 revolver holster from a "John Malchio", rather then a "Jessica Wang")

You learn from your mistakes. Thats what these forums are for.

So I'm a male. My voice over the phone is the manliest thing you can hear. There is no way in hell I would be able to pull off a female voice if I had to contact eBay through the phone... Or vise versa.

The seller who sold me the account gave me a 100% female account.

I'm just wondering if this might end up being a problem....
Do other members on here (with stealth accounts) ever call or get calls from eBay where they HAVE to talk? If so... Should I get a refund and switch to another account? Or am I just being paranoid...

In these situations I had my g/f call in and authorize me to talk to the ebay rep. They allow this once she verifies account into. Its all about not sounding like a creep or like your are nervous. If you think you need another rep call back. I recommend waiting an hour tho.

Regarding the trusted contact, do they ask for any of your information?

I have had this issue before and I just tell them I am transgender. With all libs going nuts over "hurt feelings" they are too afraid to even confront you about it.

If they do just act like they hurt your feelings and talk to supervisor. Go into the whole "racist, bigot" thing and they will fix your issue super fast.
