Got a good scare today!

So I purchased a new ebay account and have been running it for almost exactly a month. I sold two items and asked the supplier to invoice me on my new paypal for the first time. I hit pay invoice and it said we need to verify your identity. I hit send a text, and it right away said we could not identify you. Naturally I freaked and assumed I messed up and lost my new account after only a month. So I called paypal and it turns out it was because I had the location services turned off on my burner phone I am using for this stealth account. I turned it back on and payment went threw fine. My question is, is it ok that my location services is turned on? the location it is going to say is not really any were near the address on my ebay and paypal. Will this cause any issues?

Yeah, that does sound like it could be a scary situation.

If you dodged the bullet and you know the cause why gamble?

Well the reason is because a lot of my dropship suppliers invoice me threw PayPal for the good and I can't pay them if location services is off... but your right, it's probably not worth the risk. I will message them and see if we can pay with other methods instead

If you are using a phone, an app is more stable without red flags since it has it's own way of saving sessions and cookies. Good luck.

use location spoofing app. Probably need to jailbreak /root it. Better to use an android as its easier to spoof everything. Personally i use andoid, root it, install xposed framework. From there you can download apps for everything .. even apps that prevent apps(such as paypal) from seeing its rooted/spoofed. I use banking app before and they could not tell i was rooted.
