10 Minute Phone Number for eBay

Ok, so we call it a 10 minute phone number for eBay in this regard, because most of the time, you’ll only need to use the number for a maximum of 10 minutes, if that. That’s because our service is so quick. People choose to use 10 minute phone numbers to avoid using their own. Our numbers can be used to create new eBay accounts, or to simply receive an SMS verification code for eBay. In some instances, you may need to receive a one time password (OTP) also, which can also be done using our numbers. Whatever your individual reason for wanting to use our numbers, you can do so whenever suits you (even for 10 hours, if you so wish!).

How Does It Work?

You could have got this far into the article and thought to yourself “Urgh, it’s gonna be really complicated to use”, however, you couldn’t be further from the truth! Our service is super quick and easy to use. So much so that we’re able to summarize it into 4 easy steps! Just follow the below:

1. Got a secure internet connection and a device to access it on? Great! Go on over to the TemporaryNumber website 
2. Scroll down the homepage to both the country-code and specific number you want to use, and simply double-click on the number you wish to receive your SMS on
3. Enter this number into eBay when they ask you for a number
4. That’s it! Wait for your SMS to be received on our website under the actual number you have chosen to use.

We told you! Super quick, simple and easy to use, time and time again! 

Let’s Talk Money: Is It Really Free?

Ok, let’s clear up the obvious here. No doubt you’ve already done your research when it comes to using temporary numbers online, and there’s further no doubt that you’ll have seen that most other services make you pay per use of temporary numbers. At the very least, you’ll only be offered a free trial, and before you can access this trial, you’ll need to enter your credit card details anyway. Others simply charge from the beginning. Yes, there are a few select services that are totally free, but they tend to have very poor quality numbers that don’t always receive your SMS. There has to be a better way? This is what we were thinking before we started TemporaryNumber, and as a result, we created a service whereby all of our numbers are totally free to use and are of a high quality, meaning your SMS will usually be received within a minute. 

And No Need to Register Any Details At All?

Absolutely none! We knew exactly the type of service we wanted to create at the beginning of our journey: a service that is totally free, accessible to all with great quality numbers and, importantly, one that requires absolutely no registration whatsoever! This was really important to us because we knew that most users look to use 10 minute phone numbers to increase their privacy and anonymity, not further compromise it by entering yet more of their personal details. So we don’t ask for any PII, including no name, address, email and no number. 

Why Not Use My Own Number for eBay?

You’re probably very clued-up to the fact that entering your number into online services can be problematic. This is because your number is very often saved onto their database and used for marketing purposes later on, even if you think you’ve opted out. This can result in the usual sales calls and texts, and can become really annoying. Worse still, your number can also be used to track the other services you’ve signed up to online. It’s a scary world online. Then there are more practical reasons, such as not having a SIM card or number, or having problems with your phone, all of which make our 10 minute phone numbers to eBay extremely handy. 

How Do I Access My SMS?

Once you’ve entered the chosen number into eBay and submitted it, head on over back to our site and under the number you have used is where you can expect to receive your SMS. Depending on your browser or internet speed, you may need to refresh the page after a minute or so to access, if it hasn’t arrived by then.

What Happens After I’ve Accessed It? Can I Delete It?

After you’ve accessed your SMS, it will be automatically deleted after 24 hours. Currently, you are unable to manually delete the message yourself. 

Can Others View My SMS?

While in theory others could view your SMS, this is by no means dangerous, as the information displayed in SMS verification messages is useless to others without the other relevant login information for that account.

Can I Use Your Numbers for Other Services?

Absolutely! We wrote this article for people interested in receiving SMS verification for eBay, but you can use our numbers for absolutely any online service you need to! 

How Often Are New Numbers Added to TemporaryNumber?
