Phone verification for lifting limit..help please!

colt63 · #1 10-16-2010

Hi, could someone please help me. I have followed the stealth guide, have verified a paypal account (stealth), but now that I am trying to lift the £1900 limit, when I click on the 'confirm by phone' button, nothing happens, it just keeps coming back to the same page on Paypal. I have not used the Paypal account at all yet, nor have I opened an ebay account yet. If Paypal were, for instance, going to send a verification by post, they would tell me wouldn't they, or would they just send a letter anyway? Well, if that is the case, I am in a little trouble here then, as the address I have used is of course not mine. Anyone have any ideas please? Thank you.

Get a PO box, you can find ones that are dirt cheap where you pay only for mail received in and forwarding and not a monthly fee, so if you only use it for PP or Feebay and such like wont really ever cost you, except for the occasional verification letter.

watch pobox address, ebay aint stoopid, they look up address and see its pobox (do your own goodle and see amount of people listed under it) so rule is best keep pobox for business account. I got this question recently and blagged it, by saying it was work address, but they asked for ID etc

Phone verification for lifting your 1900 limit seems to be down here in the uk, I have been trying to do it for the last few days and when i press"confirm by phone" nothing happens. My guess is that its just a paypal error/maintainence and will go back to normal in the nxt few days. Just have patience.

Thank you for your replies to my question, very much appreciated. I will wait a couple of days and try again.

This sounds like a little more than a glitch, Dose anyone have have a copy the exact error message

colt63 · #13 10-21-2010

I don't get an error message, I click on the link for 'verification by phone, a page appears to be loading, and then nothing, it just reverts to the same page as before. Last week I at least go a message saying there was a techincal fault, and to try again later.

whatnow · #14 10-21-2010

i get the same the page just refreshes, this name and address are good too, completely real so im baffled as to why ????

You need to add credit card first to match name and address before verifying then it will be ok, did one 2 days ago and i did not even have to verify by phone either

Hi, Have you already added a credit card to your Paypal account ?

eternity4u · #19 10-27-2010

Anyone got through the process?

kirkie · #20 10-27-2010

eternity4u · #21 10-27-2010
