More on the Verification Code!!!!

[6709travis]

I can't believe what has just happened!!!  More on the Verification Code dilemma, the numbers actually read 143690, I got my other half here to help me "listen" as best as we could to the verification code, and we were both sure (after a few times of listening) it said 747359, so I typed in the number it had "said", and low and behold, it let me send it to the seller!!!  What is going on here???  It's just crazy!!!

I have only ever twice had a verification code I couldn't read. I just refreshed to get a new one.

I would contend that you get some glasses. It's not a dilemma, per se, it's your inability to read. I very much doubt that the audio and visual check numbers were that much different.

I am offended by your comment Dave, I had my husband AND myself here listening to the verification code, and I swear to you, they were BOTH different.  TWO people can't be wrong.  I even got him to look at the numbers I had typed in no less than 10 times before and each one of those corresponded with what was on the screen and yet, they didn't work.  Never did  I need to refresh the screen as the numbers were VERY readable.  I am guessing that ebay is having some sort of glitch tonight and it definitely has nothing to do with me or my sight.

I am offended by your offence. TWO people could easily be wrong. If you don't want answers, or members' relevant experiences, I suggest you don't post on the boards.

If the numbers shown don't work, dial up another set. The definition of stupidity is generally acknowledged to be doing the same thing repeatedly (10 times even) and expecting a different result

When I first started my buying account, I made an offer on something and the seller blocked me saying he didn't deal with buyers under 10 FB.

So I went to my selling account which had over 500 FB and sent the same message, and the seller worked out I was the same person as before and unblocked me.

I'm now a pretty regular customer of this seller, but I still can't PM him through the message system on my buying account, even though I can buy off him on that account.

Well I can message him, but I have to go through the link under his sellers name, the system won't let me use the ask a question on the page or the one through his FB score.

We figure it's just some kind of eBay glitch *shrugs*

Travis, have a go at going in through the messages either from the link in his name or his feedback score (that's the one that works for me when this happens)

Just make sure you make it clear what item you are talking about though, because sometimes it doesn't link up and the seller has no idea which product you may be referring to.

Well I am offended by both your offences so settle down, and yes two people can be wrong, (just think prime minister and treasurer).

:^O:^O:^O:^O:^O:^O:^O

Sorry I couldn't resist but don't forget it isn't reportable because I have used smilies.

[i-once-was-bump]

seller blocked me saying he didn't deal with buyers under 10 FB.

Gee that is tough, we all had to start at zero, even that seller.

I always like it when a zero feedback buyer buys their first item from me.

[davewil1964]

I match your two and add the leader of the Opposition and the Shadow Treasurer.

The real Treasurer can at least add up. Shrek can't. And that is even more scary than the Mad Monk for PM.

Almost forgot :^O:^O:^O:^O:^O:^O:^O

Thanks Crikey for your kind response.

Dave, you are just lucky I am not an agressive person.  Trying to do this by myself I may have thought perhaps I am doing something wrong, but to accuse my husband of also being wrong, I don't think so.  I would happily accept if this was so, but it is not, so please come up with some other response of I need glasses, or just don't reply at all.....  I can only state what has happend for us tonight.  From someone who has only 20 feedback, I retract my offence, obviously you are not are regular on here.
