eBay

I have been a seller on eBay since 2011. I recently opened this account to supplement my existing one. It was not until I had opened the new account that I read that it is against eBay policy to have a second account so that one can avoid the 40 free listings restriction. What is the point in having a second account? Could I list records in one account and CDs in the other (or music in one and DVDs and books in the other)? I want to do the right thing.

I was going to suggest you see what format they have your phone number in under your personal details, but I can't find it at all on mine so it may not be visible on yours either.

Are you trying to enter a mobile number or a landline? Does your established account have a landline or mobile as its phone number? Go into your personal details and check what number you have in there.

I just went into my personal details and if you want to put in a mobile number, using the example I used above, 04 28123456. That being, the 04 in the first box with the brackets, the remaining 8 numbers in the second box. For a landline, I'm assuming you'd put the area code in the first box and the rest in the second box.

If that doesn't work, separate the first 4 numbers from the last 4 with a space. The example used in my personal details where I would add a different number is 02 1234 5678

If none of them work, ring eBay.

You wre right! I rang them as you suggested and they rang me back within a couple of minutes. The girl told me they were having issues with the phone number format so she increased my selling limits over the phone. Thanks.
