Lol!!! Paypal phone call

[billieshakespeare]

I called one of my paypal stealth account to release funds early from an eaby sale. I convinced the buyer to leave me feedback early as I needed it for shipment and walla he did.

The paypal rep just checked and removed hold on the stealth account. From my experience whatever probs you have with ebay and paypal, always good to call them, they are friendly.

erm... not always!

However grats on getting your holds removed, but they will more than likely be implemented in again.

Yeah. Calling PayPal really helps, but remember - if you're calling from "Unknown number" They can track you down. So you better use your top-up phone.

please elaborate?

If you're making a stealth account and think you would need to call PayPal for any reason, it's better for you to use another phone that is not registered or registered with PayPal that you going to call about. Even if you're calling from "Unknown number" from a phone that is already registered with PayPal, that's why I prefer to pay 10 pounds for new number and call PayPal if there's any problems, also I received a phone call from PayPal asking why my items are so cheap, I listed them again on another account got a call from PayPal but didn't answer it - Ebay suspended.

Hopefully you can understand what I meant!

How can they track you down, if your using an "Unknown number"?

Did you mean, it was unsafe to call PP from a withheld number?

Perhaps he means when you call in paypal you get the option to share the number you are calling from with paypal. If you select no, they tend to see it anyway?

Just a guess, i could be wrong.

You cant block your number from showing up when calling a toll-free number in general but certain web services can do the trick.

[billieshakespeare]

yes just call from a sim-card never used to register to paypal before and you will be fine.

[moneyhustler88]

so paypal can see if your calling them even if its on unknown?
