Re: Is Google Voice a gamble?
 

There is a way to safely add google voice but I'm afraid its my bread and butter

I recommend the tracfone method

I may risk the GV approach.

I just used it to create my stealth account today. I had to jump through some extra hoops----eBay made me verify my PayPal account with a Credit Card and Bank account---but it worked! Total stealth account cost: 5.25 (for VCC)

Risky indeed - not worth it but best of luck on the experiment and follow-up report

Re: Is Google Voice a gamble?
 

I personally think that google voice is okay. Never had any problem with it. Always get 5/500 though. But never 0/0, and neither above 5/500.

Wait until the holiday season, 0/0s will make a comeback and GV accounts will be hit the hardest.

Why risk it? A real phone isn't very expensive...

i would save the preferable choice would be a physical phone or TracFone! Yes I have use Google voice before and it has been fine as well!

You plan on using Google voice u need to disable automatic call feature for people to speak there name because that will be a dead giveaway! And record your own name for a greeting which will make the phone number see more legit if eBay or PayPal happens to call.

I use Google Voice on all my Stealth accounts.

People say it's been flagged, abused, etc. Where's the evidence?

I see threads everyday about account shutdowns, some members claim to have done everything by the recommendation, tracfones, fresh, dedicated VPN, real bank accounts, etc, and others use "shortcuts".

Either way, the general attitude seems to be that your days are limited.

I have yet to see evidence that Google Voice is bad. How did you come to this conclusion? I've CALLED EBAY using GV and received increases.

I'm not claiming GV isn't known by eBay, but please, show me the evidence.

GV seems ok, I keep 2 Amazon accounts registered with GV and they are still there.

You can always use Virgin Mobile 20$ monthly plan? No one ever seems to mention this option but if you plan on using it for a strong account its worth the price.

You can even add the phone number in your listings to generate higher sales and WAY better customer service. Its a win win. I guarantee you will get a sale you wouldn't have without it to cover the 20$ monthly cost.

Would definitely recommend tracfone to start accounts. I have let the number expire after about a year of good standing with eBay/PP and switched to GV. I definitely would not start accounts using GV.

Re: Is Google Voice a gamble?
 

I've noticed it's less hassle to use a Tracfone to start accounts, you get 0/0 FAR less often. Personally, as soon as I get my account set up, I change it to GV, so that I can change the Tracfone # and use it to set up more accounts (and get more GV #s)
