Also, the issue has been resolved and a new account will be issued to me from the seller. He handled the matter very professionally; explaining along the way as to why the account was female. He gave me a couple of choices including a refund, and in the end made sure that I was satisfied with the results.
Upon receiving my new account I will give full credibility to his excellent customer service. Thanks to everyone for all the replies.

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

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

Point of purchasing accounts is to discuss preferences, imo.
Saves grief.

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") | LOL This is Hilarius. I have A LOT of employees working in a 98% male dominated outdoor/hunting industry. You know what, I hire mostly females because they OUTSELL by leaps and bounds when talking to men customers.
They all have stealth names like Jenny, Lola, Lizzy, etc..
Also, with stealth, who knows what the real name is on a paypal account is?
That is why it is stealth....rhetorical. You have to wrap your head around the stealth aspect.
Anyways, I am very glad you got everything sorted out.

If you ever find yourself stuck in this situation make sure to just watch the movie "little nicky" with Adam Sandlar and try talking to them in that voice works everytime!

Lol, love the walking dead threads.
But since it is risen, why not! I have called both ebay and paypal with a female name on the account. I am a male. The 3 times I called into paypal with this account was for a disputed transaction against me. They never questioned my voice. Same with ebay when I called in, they never questioned my voice. I do not know if they are not allowed to or why they dont ask. Maybe it is the uncomfortable situation, similar to not knowing if a female is fat or pregnant, you just dont want to ask if you are unsure. |

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.

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.

Just like in selling things happen etc. We rarely have to talk on the phone with these so why not just borrow a female voice and walk her through it. easy peazy
If you did not request a MALE account then really cant be upset w/ seller. I would in the future in your case because its a big deal to you.
If this is the biggest problem you face w/ any of your accounts thats not so bad. Keep your head up and sell on. Not trying to provoke you but is it really that big a deal? Easily fixed.
