HI Bertie

did you get my PM. Have you tried the link and found out the info I mentioned.

paypal voip number
 

jim,
yes l did thanks and tried it with other numbers and got ther same reply tom all

This telephone number is most likely a United Kingdom number. Specific information on this number range is not available. This might mean that this particular telephone number does not exist. Should this be incorrect, be sure to notify us.

Cell phones have different ranges than landlines. VoiP and other numbers not from the local landline phone co are like this. I think it means that the number is not landline.

Hi, had PP acount limited until confirmed address with the phone number, so added works phone number and after entering code it said that after checking available databases that the phone number did not match address.
So they are now sending a letter to ⊗⊗⊗⊗ address, does this now mean that you can not use a false address to confirm your PP account as they now check your phone number against the address?

yeff you could rent a mailbox that looks like it's not a PO Box. I don't know what's in the UK.

Or CCNOW will work if they can mail you checks.

yeff

Was your work number a DDI or extension number or was it the main telephone number for the company?

The thing with paypal they have a few databases to refer to and one in particular will prove whether your number is registered or not. I won't go in to detail as a few things are being worked on by myself and don't want ****pal to suss them out, thats if they haven't already.

PM me or let me know if the number you used was a main co number or DDI (direct dial, as used in offices)

Jonas, The mailbox scenario will not work, unless my new theory works then it should, as you will need a telephone number registered to it.

Paypal can see if your landline belongs to your ACTUAL ADDRESS. Its not a regional thing, or a postcode thing but a street thing.

I have used numbers less than 300 yards from the address on paypal but they still know it doesnt match up. I have used work numbers in the same post code and they know its not the same address, and I have used VOIP many times before, but now they know its not the same address.

Its nothing to do with the extension (0208 for Inner London for example) they numbers are listed to specific addresses.

Just find somewhere you have access to their phone, work for example, and put their real address in and accept the phone call when you are at work

I agree with you. Paypal consults a known business database to verify the match of telephone numbers against addresses.

But DDI numbers will not work it has to be the main telephone number, although DDI numbers are a valid number that a person dials to get straight through to you they are not registered on the database and certainly are not an extension like where you speak to an operator and ask to be transferred to x number.

Is paypal matching them based on the phone company's internal private records? Or are they just seeing published numbers and if your number is unpublished them they wouldn't see it?

Their own internal records wouldn't have every live phone number as they have got that many customers.

They are using a database that has been licensed from an external company that does have every landline telephone number whether ex-directory or not. It is regularly updated as new numbers arrive or disconnect, but certain tel numbers like voip & mobile will not appear on it, well not in the way landlines do.

Its telecom thing, I won't shout in public about

Impossible to verify paypal a/c with telephone
 

I'm finding it impossible to verify paypal via telephone verification, its not taking voip, says it not valid to the address, is there a way around this at all

Lucy, this has already been discussed I believe. There has been a way around, but you'll have to PM someone for the solution I believe.

I faxed in my docs to ebay a few days ago, so waiting now. You said voip doesn't work anymore in your post
http://www.aspkin.com/forums/ebay-su...account-6.html

Its a big pain in the arse for me when i manage to open a paypal a/c and try to get it verified, its not going to open with voip as you said yourself, i think i've just about had enough, 'i still don't know how to get it done, its a dead horse

i dont know you have heard about voicemailtel.com. I find it pretty useful for verifing my phone numbers they supply telephone numbers to countrys from all over the world basically you route the number to any phone and it works. I routed a local toronto number to my cell phone and it verified. Hope this works. They had a one month free special, im not sure if that ended as yet. Good luck.

Modee its Ebay, I was suspended and they won't let me back on, despite faxing the correct papers

I'm in the UK and would need a local area code for my town, don't think voicetel does that

Can someone please tell me how I can verify my paypal account without a landline number, as it seems paypal have cottoned onto voip numbers and I really don't want to mess this account up as I have completed all the other steps, someone please PM me, if the info is too sensitive for a public forum.

I use cheap trac phones now from the dollar store

I suspect the User is from the Uk Lizard... a flag up would help.. but have noticed more and more posts re: Voip being a problem..

Yea, VOIP appears to be out of the window now.
Landline phone numbers it is.

I hate UK Ebay

I have to agree with you there!

Lol.. stop wasting enrgy "hating" and concentrate on work rounds.. if one solution don't work, try another... i think were all a little long in the tooth to be spoonfed.. (plus spoonfeedin is £50 down Mucky Mary's Massage Parlour)

Hi, have posted before on this site but couldnt remember my log in details so had to open another account. Anyway was just wondering if anyone has a solution to voip yet as have just opened a new e and pp account, have used voip but no doubt once the money starts going in i will be limited, any advise would be appreciated.
Also why is this forum so public??? bay and pal must be watching this site constantly so no wonder new ways around their system are quickly being stopped

Has anyone come up with a solution for this? How am i meant to get hold of valid uk landlines!

mattcafc, there is no news yet about UK landlines, sorry.

Has anybody managed to find a solution yet to the problem of verifying Paypal by phone? I have tried using various forwarding numbers but every time Paypal says that the telephone number does not match with the address. If anybody could PM me I would be ever so grateful.

pm me to if you find out;-) ebay told me that my phone don't mach the adress.same paypal. what do they chek?

UK paypal phone verification
 

I tried to do the Phone Verification, when the paypal call the VOIP, then I input the code immediately without waiting the instruction in the phone, and then hangup, then the paypal saying the Phone Verification is failed, and they are going to post a verification code to the ⊗⊗⊗⊗ address...

I contacted the paypal to ask them to let me do the Phone Verification again, but they said they can't do it...

what I can do to get the Phone Verification again to raise the Limit?
any suggestion?

thanks!

Ok, today I got a message on one of my paypal accounts saying

"Please expect a call from paypal soon to verify who you are blah blah blah"

My paypal telephone number was just a random house number with area code. I have since deleted this and put my mobile number as the only number on paypal, so should they ring I can answer.

Does anyone know what questions they ask, and what the process is? And how soon after I have recieved that message should I get the call?

Secondly.
I have now recieved over £650 on one paypal account and I have to add more options to paypal to verify. They are...

Add and confirm a bank account
Link and confirm your credit card
Validate your Account Information


I was thinking of just adding a savers account as the bank account. Using entropay on the credit card? (Does this work?)

does paypal accept mobile numbers?

Its always best to add the CC and bank before receiving any payments, but I have read that entropay works well, and im assuming a savers account is the same as a savings account and yes they work too, I would add these to your account asap...and make sure you have all your account info handy for when they call like address, name, last 4 of the CC, etc...in US accounts Paypal accepts mobile numbers but im not sure about UK

You can withdraw £500 in any one month with a total withdraw of £650 for the year. I would suggest that you add your savings account and withdraw that balance immediately. To let you know savings accounts will not work unless they can accept Direct Debit so I would advise you contact your bank and ask if it doe. You will be able to add a savings account (I have), so do that now and withdraw the funds straight away as they may block you withdrawing very soon.

when u confirm withdrawl money is not withdrawl immediately u will see status pending.. and after about almost 2 days it says complete.. so within that time frame they can cancel the withdrawl if they feel anyting suspicious.. and paypal uk does accept mobile numbers but they cannot be used for verification.. just as u can add entropay credit card but cannot use for expanded use number.. got the idea i guess?

Hey all,

If anyone has a solution let me know, from my past experience (5/6 accounts) i have only had to verify by phone a few times?

This time i've had to use ⊗⊗⊗⊗ address and a rerouted number to my landline.. The number is in the same area as my address just routes to my landline.

Any options avail atm?

HI:
Ive read where some folks have had success with this--FOR ME personally--I can never get a paypal verif with Verizon Wireless.. they always want a landline..
Now-with ebay its diff-- A-ok..

So-Im thinking maybe now-theyre both using same 3rd party Veriifer??

Cant hurt to try...
