Question: Best way to Sell & Buy Minutes?
How to use PayPal? How does buyer activate, etc from another city? All advice from Experienced Sellers & Buyers appreciated!

When you purchase airtime, the buyer gets a receipt from the storeclerk.
This receipt has an " Authorization " number printed on it.
When you call your SO account and enter this number ( which the seller will give you ), it applies the credit amount to you account.
I.e. you don't have to physically be in possesion of this receipt.

Greetings 'manny',
Just the 'Authorization Number', then?
The 'Serial Number' and the 'Prepaid Card Number' are inconsequential to the end user?

Is Paypal the best/safest way to execute a transaction on this site?

And if someone purchases airtime from someone posting on this site - there is no problem activating the minutes even if you are not the original buyer?

How about SIM cards - can someone use a SpeakOut SIM - originally purchased in one city - in any other city across Canada? Most likely, the buyer of the SIM would want a new number [i.e., local area code] - any problems doing that?
Procedure?

If you have a speakout and " move" to another area code....all you do is cal customer service and tell them you need a new phone number. thats it.

Just the Authorization number, nothing else required.
Never used Paypal, but I would expect it to be " safe ".
