    Before you are transferred to a premium rate number you always hear a warning message.

    Actually, there's no such thing as being 'transferred to a premium rate number'. The only way to be charged at premium rate is to dial a premium rate number from the outset.

    Calling did seem to have the effect of my PayPal claim moving immediately from 'awaiting response from buyer' to 'PayPal are reviewing your claim'.

    I don't know what would have happened next because the item arrived today so I cancelled the claim. (The daft seller had sent it to the wrong address).

    We got this a few weeks ago. Made things feel like they were actually getting done. They don't want the number being shared out though, a trial thing they didn't want to get flooded with phonecalls for yet. I'm surprised someones not put it up here sooner.

    Thanks. I wasn't clear that they didn't want the number sharing out, so I've edited my original post to remove it.
