Why eBay seller verification blocks so many numbers

eBay requires seller phone verification to comply with the INFORM Consumers Act and prevent fraud. The platform blocks VoIP, virtual numbers, and even landlines.

  • VoIP and Google Voice explicitly rejected for seller accounts
  • Each seller account requires a unique phone number
  • INFORM Act mandates periodic re-verification for high-volume sellers
  • Landlines no longer accepted—SMS-capable mobile required

JoltSMS provides real-SIM numbers for legitimate verification. Using numbers for policy evasion or fraud is prohibited.
