Why marketplaces ask for a phone number
Marketplaces verify sellers by SMS to cut down on fake accounts and fraud. During seller onboarding, the platform sends a one-time code to a phone number and you type that code back into the signup form. The phone number is the part that ties the account to a real person, which is why platforms ask for it in the first place. If you would rather not hand over your personal phone number, a one-time US number keeps your own line out of the platform's database while you finish verification.
What you can verify on this page
This category covers six marketplace services: Amazon, eBay, Walmart, DoorDash, Ticketmaster and Uber. Each is a one-time rental of a US number that receives the SMS code for you. Prices shown on the page run from $1.35 to $1.75 per service, and stock is listed as 997 to 999+ across the six. You pick the service, choose a quantity, and the code arrives at the number you rented. When you are done, there is no subscription to cancel.
How the process works
Choose the marketplace you are verifying and the quantity you need, add it to the order, and the number is assigned to you. Enter that number in the marketplace's seller signup screen. The verification SMS arrives at the rented number and you read the code from your order page, then enter it on the platform. This works for one-time codes only, which is what seller onboarding usually sends. If you need the same number for longer, see renting a US phone number for day-to-day or year-long options.
Choosing between the six services
The list is sorted by default order, with options to sort by fastest delivery or by price. Uber and Ticketmaster are marked Popular and Ticketmaster, Amazon and eBay show the highest remaining stock. DoorDash is the lowest-priced of the six at $1.35, while Amazon and Walmart are the highest at $1.75. If your platform is not on this list, check the other SMS verification services, which cover messaging, social, dating, finance, email and gaming categories from the same one-time number setup.

What happens if the marketplace asks for my phone number again later?
One-time numbers are meant for the initial SMS code during seller onboarding. For a number you keep using, look at the US number rentals instead.
Are the numbers US numbers?
Yes. ZapSMS uses real non-VoIP US numbers for one-time codes, which is what marketplaces expect when they send a seller verification SMS.
