UK eBay & PaypalGeneral discussions about eBay.co.uk Suspensions and Paypal.co.uk limited accounts. This forum is geared towards UK eBay & Paypal sellers.
I know there have been many threads on this subject, but am aware that ebay sytems are changing all the time. What is the best way now to obtain a new phone number for veryfying a new ebay account? Any help please. Am one step away from opening new account.
Have been reading eBay Stealth and I just want to say it is brilliant!!
The complete step-by-step guide to get back to selling today!
You can get a new phone line from BT, but it can cost £121.
Or one from TalkTalk which I think is cheaper.
Both require you to stay with them for 12 months.
I've found citynumbers to be brilliant and use them for all my stealth accounts. You buy a virtual number and the calls from ebay can get forwarded to your mobile without ebay knowning anything about it, it's cheap enough as well.
Don't you guys have disposable cell phones over there? They usually sell the cheap with like 20 minutes and 60 days activation. and then have to by a card to ad minutes.
Thanks for your replies. I have just ordered a new virtual number from citynumbers. Looks a great company. Thanks for that tip - certainly looks easy and cheap enough. Once again thanks for help.
3rd rock from sun - have you created all your stealth accounts yourself? Have you had success with them in UK? Would certainly like to get more tips from yourself when needed.
The best & most simple option for phone verification is to use soho 66 voice over ip. This gives you a geographical number for £2.35, very easy to set up and use & most importantly verify
i've been trying unsuccessfully to buy telephone numbers from tossable digits but it keeps declining my card which has money on it. Am i doing something wrong?
One i use every time is sipgate. You can get a good landline number in any area code. Such as 01752 which is plymouth. It doesnt matter where you live, you can get a local number and this is what you need to verify on paypal because this makes them think if you say your in plymouth and your number 01752 then they believe it! Also these numbers can be easily forwarded to your mobile phone and eb or pp never even have a clue! Message me if you need help. Thanks
I'm with pidge90 and use sipgate, but make sure you go to the sipgate dot co dot Uk as the dot com will not work for the UK users.
Also figured you can just use a new email for a new account rather than buying more numbers from them.
I have yet to add any money into any of them, as other than the ebay four digits and checking it for buyers answer messages, which there has been none, then I have not had to use it for anything else like actual call forwarding.
