I dont think you understand. I ALREADY have a verified paypal account thanks to my halifax saver, and I ALREADY have over £600 in that account so need to somehow withdraw from my verified account that no longer has my halifax saver on.

Pretentious mug

Matt, calm down. We're trying to help eachother out here ;)
Maybe it's a rule that now only applies to new accounts.

well, why do you guys use savings accounts anyway ?
and not normal bank or current accounts ?
i'm using a halifax bank account with paypal to withdraw money without problems...

Why not? I only use savings accounts because it was what they offered me in the bank for under 18's.

If you have a Halifax bank account for example, its very easy to open up a Saver account online. Takes under 2 minutes and you can open as many as you want under your bank account, hence having many paypal accounts. To get a new account you need to apply, it takes a week to get sorted and it messes with your credit ratings.

ok. fair point :cool:
i might try it.
but there are obviously issues with savings account as discussed above...

Not with barclays/abbey/RBS :)

Anyone got any info on opening a Barclays savers account then?

Barclays
 

here's their online bank site

http://ibank.barclays.co.uk

Good Luck.

Tut. Tut Matt, now play nice.. i'm pleased you have a "verified" Paypal account.. and ecstatic you have £600 in that "verified" account.. But.. guess what.. You can't touch the £600, because you verified with a Halifax Saver.. and Paypal have obvious issues with Halifax Savers.. so..stop recommending them, you can have 100's of "verified" Paypal accounts with your Savers lol....... But...... Your not gonna get your money out.. Simple as..

Your asking for advice, and upon being given that advice, you chose to vent your obvious pent up frustration in a post basicly spouting inane drivel..

You'll learn i'm sure.. the way your approaching it, you shall have 6 months to learn whilst Paypal enjoy the rewards of your hard earned £600...

Look forward to your reply, i'm sure it shall be as informative and interesting as your last... :)

I knew you wouldn't let me down Matt.. informative and interesting as ever..

Let's call a truce, your obviously a pr*ck, but i can live with that..as you more than likely have for some time now..

Btw.. i think you'll find it's PRETENTIOUS :)

:D I think you will find its "you're"

Guys, stop littering the thread!!

what is it with these halifax web saver accounts, ive opened 2 just for convenience as i bank with them anyway, i opened them while im waiting for other bank acc info im waiting for in the post, i opened 1 web saver on my halifax and 1 on my partners, a paypal for each and like ppl have said the deposits where made but on my partners straight away there was a email saying the mandate had been returned but on mine i was able to verify it but i suppose once i use it i will have to find another way to get the money out, will they link my ebay accs if i send it to my old paypal acc.

btw scouse r u a scouser.

lol..Yes Donna.. :)

lmao scouse, i am aswell.

Hi Thanks for this useful info. I now have a seller account up and running with a couple of items for sale. :) :)

I'd eventually like to get back to listing 100-200 items a day but i am treading carefully at the moment until I have been on for a month or so and built up a decent feedback about 20+.

Has anyone else had problems when they start listing loads of items or am I panicing for no reason.

Also the in the guide for opening uk seller accounts you no longer need the entropay credit card as you have to have a verified paypal account now which repalces the need for a virtual card

badboy, i want to open up a new fresh ebay uk a/c something that will last, did you follow the guide step by step without problems?

I'm suspended at the moment, faxing my docs across next week, trying to get my 9 year a/c opened up again, but only for buying

I want to open a fresh new a/c something that will last, should and see if they reopen my a/c or can i start now? ebayhatluve told me don't use the same pc 'cause of the IP, how do I get round that?

I don't think the telephone verification works anymore.
eBay used to call you up and give you the number however now they want you to press one of the digits on your touchpad (this trying to avoid VOIP) methods I believe.

I also think this forum should be made private, because whatever you suggest here eBay staff are reading it and probably going to patch the loopholes about RBS or Halifax accounts, and if you use many Halifax accounts it will raise a redflag on your bank account and they question WHY have you opened so many accounts in your name.

I also know a few more methods about eBay but i'm not making it public due to eBay MAY be reading this forum.

peace out

its really great that you posted this.

great contribution.

this is definitely a newbie can use.

Glad it was of help. Although, the VOIP phone option is now down the pan...

I want to know if you need to need to alter name and address details when registering for a new secondary/backup eBay account? Your guide doesn't mention anything about this. But Aspkin's original guide does.

Mantisinc's guide is fairly general I note. Not like Aspkin's step by step guide which I understand applies to ebay.com not ebay.co.uk.

Well I registered anyway using the same details (my own real ones). eBay is now asking for verification, by either phone or CC, which I haven't done yet.

Is this what they will do, try and absorb as many details as possible and then suspend the account?

Aspkin's guide is what you should first follow, this guide is just points that are specific to the UK.

There are probably a fair few points, I have only really glossed over the general steps you must take.

Thanks for keeping the info updated. I think its now obvious that ebay are monitoring this website as they seem to have made a lot of changes in recent months making it harder and harder to open up a new sellers account.

I read that voip is now more or less hit-and-miss for Paypal. Is it the same with eBay too or do ebay allow phone verification with voip?

Its nothing to do with this website. Do you think this is the only site of its type?

Read up on all the latest policies from Ebay and their reason why they have come into effect, and you will see its simply down to its direct effect on Ebay. This forum isnt the bee all and end all of Ebay suspensions. 90% of the people on here are simple minds, who get banned every 5 minutes.

What percentage you fall into, mattcafc?:rolleyes:

The other 10%

I wasnt being a dick, I mean the 10% of users here really know what they are talking about, and know how to work the system.

But 90% of the people search google, find this forum, come on and ask a dumb questions, or dont follow the system correctly.

I know of 4 other "forums" regarding ebay suspensions and I would say 1 of them is better than this place, but its more guarded. This is easierly found by google, hence the 90% of people who come here and have the other 10% talking in a loop. Its one big cycle of the same questions being asked "How do I change my IP", "Can I make a new paypal account" etc etc.

Ebay, one of the worlds biggest companies DO NOT worry about what is posted on this forum, and how a minority of less than 0.1% of its users try and figure out how to make new accounts

Does anyone know if e-bay (UK) have introduced new screening for new ebay accounts? I have setup up new ebay acccounts following the steps recommended here. I use AOL so get a new IP address, I clear cookies, use new contact details and e-mail and new Paypal etc. As soon as I try to use the new ebay accounts for selling they are suspended straight away, the second time they said because the contact info was false. I only listed a couple of small value items. Anyone and ideas?

And this exactly proves my point :D

bax, go read some other threads, you will find your answer if you research.

Just because this is the most advertised of the ebay suspension forums, doesnt mean its the biggest/best. It just means its the easiest to find on google, hence the reason we have so many new members

Thanks for the prompt response, I did already spend alot of time reading other threads. I'll try again but there are just so... many threads. My guess is that e-bay are checking details of newly registered seller to make sure the contact info is correct. I am also guessing they do this by ringing the telephone number given. I used the VOIP which I notice you say is now down the pan. Can I ask why this is down the pan? Could you at least point me in the direction of the thread that will answer my question. Much appreciated.

Thank you.

Just answer his questions instead of saying to go read some threads.

I would like to know too. Been reading topics in this forum and it hasn't been addressed to my knowledge. And besides what is the latest news, we still want to know.

The questions need to be coming up over and again or else the information stored in previous topics is going out of date.

As I understand VOIP doesn't work as described in a few recent posts. So I haven't personally bothered to try it.

How come it worked for you then?

I set up some e-bay accounts yesterday and they didn't request telephone verification just CC and bank details. When I set up some e-bay accounts maybe a week or so ago they did request telephone verification and I used the VOIP (voipfone) and this worked fine. I'm not sure what the problem is supposed to be with this but perhaps you could tell me, maybe this is the problem?

I did notice an e-bay account that I set up then tried selling which was telephone verified via the VOIP had an incoming call on the VOIP. I answered using there software but nobody answered so I assumed this was a wrong number. When I went to check later the e-bay account I had setup that I put just a few listing on it had been suspended. This also leads me to believe e-bay had called the number to see if it was genuine. So if this is what they are doing why is it I used the VOIP to complete the telephone verification but it didn't pass for them calling later (if it was them)?

Phone verification is definitely needed to set up a seller account.

Email them to ask them why they suspended your account. You could hopefully get some information back and let us know.

If you used any aspect of your details which were on previously suspended accounts of yours, that could have flagged your account in the system. Then I believe a human being scours flagged accounts and suspends them.

I set up 3 accounts and specifically set them up as seller accounts and they didn't require Phone verification which they had done for accounts I set up prevouisly. I don't know if this is a random thing by e-bay or they change the requirements. Either way it seems as soon as the accounts are used to sell i.e. a couple of items are listed the accounts are then suspended. I never use any details which are the same and could link them also I always use a new IP address from AOL, clear cookies etc. I can log into existing accounts without problem so its definately not the IP address/cookies. From previous experience with Paypal/ebay I doubt they will say specifically why they have suspended an account other then the standard responses which you are non the wiser.

why is the VOIP phone option down the pan?

Matt, can you show me a more resourceful site on the net regarding ebay/paypal suspensions than this one, as you say there are? I'm intrigued.

Enough Already
 

We are going off on a tangent. I am with mantis:) that this site works well for anyone that puts work into using it correctly. End of story.:p
Regarding ebay UK variations that are coming up: there have been changes that I have noticed since mid March. What was working fine now differs. I have not had the need or sadly the time to experiment with phone verification to give any info as of 5/3/2008. My accounts are only buyers.I am using aspkin's guidelines.:D
As nicely as I can say this, try for yourselves. :rolleyes: Come back to the
forum and give us the results of what you did. Then it can be interpreted.

Mants is not hard to. You know of this forum for the simple reason "you searched Google". As stated this is a forum where people dont mind to air their warez, and is cluttered with many 1 post users.

On this site we have an elite few, say 10 people who know what they are talking about, and are knowledgable on alot of Ebay issue's

If you search for places via your contact AND NOT via the worlds biggest search engine you will find the places where it is people who just want to help like minded and knowledgable people. There may be few members but its more advanced. This forum is for people who know alot to feel important and tell "newbies" what they need to know. Very little advancement gets achieved here.

Obviously the more "elite" places where means of avoiding suspension etc are discussed are elite for a reason, theres no sign up process its invite only (on 1 place I know) and it is a smaller community.

Just because this place is the easiest to find, and is the biggest doesnt make it the best, far from it in fact. IF you could get rid of all the newbie posters (like that guy who has posted the same thread 3 times today, even though the answer is available on this forum elsewhere) then this forum would become much better
