Why would I want to top up the sim and keep an active phone number ? especially if I use their live help.
If ebay wanted to speak to me for whatever reason ( I don't recall them ever calling on my genuine accounts over the years ... other than when I nearly hit the 85k VAT threshold).
If they did need to call for whatever reason would they not allow me to update the phone number on ebay first at which point I can get a sim and top it up only at that time ?
Reason I ask is keeping live numbers for say 10 accounts can cost £100+ | If you sell high end vero items I believe having an active number on file is beneficial.
In a few scenarios I've faced the difference was a permanent suspension versus just getting listings removed by eBay.
eBay reps have called me wanting to restrict my account while asking for documents but I managed a few times to have them just cancel the listings and act like nothing happened.
If you don't sell the aforementioned items and haven't had any calls from eBay then you probably don't need an active number but who knows when PayPal will act up and start the whole send a text message bs again.
