Buyer Requirements : SMS Verification process : Missing out on auctions and goods.
I am fed up of Ebay's phone and chat representatives. Ebay does not care. I have lost out on quite a few auctions and been unable to buy items because of buyer requirements > SMS verification.
I have already completed this verification process, but ebay wants me to go through it - again.
When I enter my mobile number (same one used earlier as I don't have another), I get the error, "The cell phone number you entered (9xxxxxxxxx) has been used for verification by another member.
Please make sure you have entered the right number."
I have wasted more than 1 hour talking to ebay's phone support, and also half an hour with a chat support agent.
They all say the same thing, please use another phone number, issue will be resolved within 48 hours, we promise.
As I am getting the flavor of ebay's incompetence and "we don't care" attitude, I am beginning to realize how helpless I am as a buyer when things go wrong here.
Ebay people, if you are listening, I am giving you time till the end of this week(not like your 48 hours), or until my latest purchase arrives. IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT SOLVED BY THEN, OR IF I DON'T SEE YOU TAKING ANY STEPS TO RESOLVE IT, I WILL FOREVER DELETE MY ACCOUNT AND NEVER VISIT YOUR SITE AGAIN.
I have purchased more than RS 10000 worth of goods from your site in the past two months, so if you don't care about my problems then goodbye.
