James, and others, I must warn you, I am certainly not an expert here. I had
to use phone verification when I varified my Uk account for card transactions,
and I think before that even, although my memory isn't what it should be.
What added to the complexity was that at the time I had anonymous call barring.
I have since learned there is a switch for that service for turning it on/off.
I didn't know at that time and resorted to call diversion, which I had at that
time, to get around call rejection blocking the PayPal call! Complicated or
what?
Apart from that digression, I would add that maybe Steve Nutt of Coputer Room
Services is a good guy to get on board here as he has PayPal facilities on his
website. Maybe Brian Hargen will come back on this too, I hope. Sure it does
help with complex things like this to have someone who happens to use the
screen reader you are using.
I would warn people also that there are scammers galore who will get after your
details by posing as PayPal. Norton spam filter handles some of these now, and
I dare say other spam blockers are onto some of them too. The golden rule:
never reply to any email perporting to come from PayPal. Always check Paypal
messages by logging into your PayPal account, which has a message service for
its users.
Hope that sort of helps.

| Hi ray

| So you have to verify everything by phone now? Does this replace the
| graphical sign-up thing with the wav file alternative?
