The second accounts - It didn't want phone verification with paypal at all, only requested bank account and direct debit info - and with ebay it wanted to call after adding my credit card but says "We were not able to verify the phone number you provided" In RED on the call now page.

So it looks like we need to find something better than voipfone for the future, if anyone knows PM me please.

Also i didn't know they mixed around the process of registering now, the last time i set a load of accounts up one after another it was always the same routine.

be careful guys when makin accounts now they dont automatically ask to confirm landline , but if you try to withdraw funds you will be limited for not doing the phonecall
you have to manually got to " add or remove cc "
then on the right hand side of the card details you have with pp it will say " add and confirm location "
click that and it will do the old 4 digit code thingy
dont forget guys , or youll be limited in a flash
im sure its another one of their traps to get everyone to send docs in from the outset

super is 100% correct.

I have checked in to this and VOIP works to make seller account, end of story, using softfone, you guys are doing it wrong, maybe you should check in to it again and forward to a landline that is beneficial.

this is a new one, its been a few months since i set up a paypal account in UK, are we saying the rules have changed?

I lift limits with whatever they ask for eg bank acc and business info, if they dont ask for phone call i dont do it.

Can we establish from anyone else if they have been limited for not doing this procedure ie manually adding card and doing location call at the start.

have you fuilly verified yourself with the voip service ? you must use real info there and onece verified you are free to use it without restriction

[GreenBean]

Supersella is correct. Any services off ebay/paypal should be in your own ID. It is commonsense to do that.

[greatgoods.2890]

Oh yes, everything was in my own name etc.......
I tried to vertify too early, and voip caught on what i was doing, using their service for automated calls (from ebay)
they then disabled my acc, and r asking what i want to use their service for!!
but u learn by ur mistakes!! i will know in future
Any suggestions what i could say i am using there service for?

voip works if you redirect your internet number to your mobile phone or landline you just need to top up the account with £5 to activate it, i just did it 2 days ago and ive succesfully opened a new paypal account

My voipfone uk experience wasn't positive, i was able to get as far as receiving the call from paypal and even entered the code successfully, however i got a mail almost immediately saying they where unable to verify the number
"Using publicly available databases, we were unable to match your address to the phone number you selected"
I have 4 more numbers with the voipfone and will try to open 3 new accounts today and see if they are a success or not.
But for me Skype works fine.
ANy other suggestions as i am weary of the paypal-skype link

Its because your local number code didn't match the post code, ie: if the address is in Brentwood you need to use a 01277 number.

I have noticed voipfone use some different codes for some towns, ie: The Bristol code is 01179 but on voipfone its 01172

[splatman]

In My Opinion Voipfone - DOES NOT WORK
I have tried 3 times - FAILED 3 Times

Trotter - Used the right code to match the postcode

The first 4 digits are fine - i am wondering if its the next 3 that are the problem as they are not a normal 3 digit for my area.

Splat,
two choices, send a pm to supersella on this forum OR contact voip's Customer Service. No use banging on it doesn't work if you have not tried
all options

[splatman]

I will try supersella, Voipfone works, it just wont work for me when trying to get verification through a divert.
I will get there with a little help.
Cheers
