Help with eBay: need a landline phone number and a helpful person

Do you really need a random person off the interweb, surely you know at least 1 person in the real world who would do this for you?

Use a pay phone.

They need to arrange it for a specific time incase you still use dial up.

Incidentally - I gave them my number and they did this - but my account is still blocked.

In the world: yes!
In the UK : no! I have just been here 1 year (for study) and everyone is currently in vacations right now!!!
My guess is that, if ebay refuse mobile numbers, they must also refuse non-Uk numbers. Perhaps I am wrong

Great, I didn't knew that!
Might give it a try tomorrow.

How come ?!?
My account is not blocked, just not verified.

Do you mean paypal to verify your account not ebay? The sellers contact details will be on your ebay account or on your paypal reciept and emails etc

My paypal account has been blocked for ages now. (Owned by ebay.)

They have never told me why, and the time spent on it became worth more than the money they were keeping.

It annoying - but I will find a better and more artistic way of redressing the balance and include my time in the calculation.

I don't mind doing it, I have 2 land line numbers one i've used for E-bay already but the second I haven't

I wish...i got defrauded from a seller through Ebay and their contact details were nowhere to be found

Anyway you can still edit them at a later stage.

Imagine the phone calls you would get if it all went wrong

Lol I don't actually use that phone line

you can request the sellers details and they will email them to you and email them yours

Thanks!
If you are sure about that, can you PM me your 'unused' number?
Do you have a preferred time for the autoated phone call?

Any time between now and 3am

Whenever you like in between those times, will PM you now

No, I couldnt because as a result of being a fraudolent transaction the user was no longer registered (i assume that when Ebay realized they "unregistered" her before e-mailing me to let me know that the transaction was fraudolent - using a **** template e-mail - 50% irrelevant to my transaction) I called them and they would not give me the details, got the phone number from a kind forum member here and Ebay was very stad offish saying "where did you get this number from- next time we wont be able to take a call from you". It's a scam and I cant believe that is so poorly regulated.

Paypal is also a scam
another time I had a problem the seller I had to turn detective myself!!! He provided Paypal with a tracking number, only when they forwarded it to me it was sent to a different address and the signature was nowhere near like my name

Had to trawl trhough tens of his past transaction, contacted around 10 buyers from the same area where the parcel was sent to and asked if their name was so and so. One of the buyers got back to me saying that he bought an item (the same as me) and confirmed his name adn location was as for the tracking number. Armed with this infor I TOLD PAYPAL that the tracking number was not for an item sent to me at my address they eventually ruled in my favour!

Dont get me started lol

Ebay do this for a Reason and it's to help give us some sort of protection.
why anyone would help to break this is beyond me.
If this guy was to go on and scam someone remember who helped him!!
The scammers are not going to come on here and say "I want to scam someone, will you help me"

just my 2cents
