Re: Male with a female paypal/ebay? Call Disaster?! Quote:

I just called, got a int'l rep as normal, and resolved my issue in about 5 mins. My voice was not an issue. Their accounts they bought got burned plus the one they paid me with.
Anyhow, the int'l ppl don't know if your name is male or female. Maybe you got punched in the throat as a kid and talk like a man now. Maybe you are sick or your parents just hated you since you was born. Most ppl arent gonna ask you why you have a man's voice and a female name. Its like askig a prego girl if she is prego. You just don't do it because she may turn out to just be fat. Now that person feels like an ass. So I doubt your voice will get questioned. But in the future you should still get a same gender account. | 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")
