Verify Identity

[Schills]

If I call from my home phone will they link it to my old account? I don't have any other phone I can call from. Do I have to speak with them or do they just want me to call and put in a pin number and then they will re-instate it?

They limited me but did not close the auction...

Do they want to actually talk to me and what information do they want?

[gurusgrafx]

never had that happen. not really sure what they want.

[GreenBean]

To be safe you can not not not use a phone number associated with a suspended account. When you made the stealth account, you should have set up a new phone number. As guru says get a tracfone. Should you end up speakiing to them, you will be asked who you are, maybe DOB & some generic questions...
don't use an old phone number. Play safe

Definitely go out and buy a tracfone. You'll get 10 minutes of free talk time in case ebay actually wants a chat. Just have all the information you used to register the account ready to verify your stealth identity.
