It's hard for me to troubleshoot what you're experiencing without seeing firsthand. But I was just able to create a fresh and brand new ML account, with no DNI. It was a bit of a pain, and I'll explain. I suspect some combination of cookies, IP address recognition, and/or your phone number being...

Strange - I just placed a new order today with no problems. I'll try creating a new account and see if the same thing happens on my end.

I don't have a DNI and have used MercadoLibre 15 times in the past 6 months. I enter a fake DNI and have all of my orders shipped to a nearby kiosk for pickup. Pay with my U.S. Visa card.

Mainly redundancy. I keep both numbers on file with banks and whatnot, usually Google Voice as my mobile number and TextFree as my home number. Some institutions or some days one is better than the other for whatever reason. For example, USAA allows me to receive emailed verification codes...

Happy (belated) birthday! I also had Verizon a year ago when I was last in the U.S., but dumped them the second I landed in Bogotá, and have survived six months there and six months here using Google Voice almost exclusively. For all intents and purposes it's been a seamless transition (and...

I've been to Colonia three time since September and have used the Buquebus ferry for all three trips. They have a website that sells tickets in ARS (www.buquebus.com), and a website that sells tickets in USD (intl.buquebus.com). They have a Uruguayan website as well. The USD website is sort of a...

@JaneD here's my two cents. I want to preface it though by saying that I'm in my 30s and still fairly tech savvy, so I know that what may seem intuitive to me may be the complete opposite to others on this forum (I'm not asking and you don't have to say, lol). For example, it was only via this...

I used Amazon on a weekly basis in Mexico and Colombia, but haven't touched them once in the six months I've been here in BA. Way too cost prohibitive here IMO. For example, I recently looked at some specialized shipping tape and the price on Amazon for the tape was $16.99 for six rolls, but the...

Yep, 1 bed & bath :)

Hi @Nutrition_Nomad - It's normally an Airbnb listing with only a two-night minimum, so I'm sure a 1-2 months stay would be fantastic for Dani (the host). Before I came along the listing was booked mostly for short stays of a week or less, which is a lot of extra work for her because of the...

Any other apartment in the same building I probably wouldn't pay more than $500 or $600 tops (especially considering all of the other floors have twice as many apartments). But I was ecstatic to find this view and thought $800 was more than worth it. I also love the spaciousness and privacy of...

Hola, everyone! I have been staying in an Airbnb since September and am returning to the States the first week of March due to some medical issues. I'm posting this on behalf of the owner to help her maybe find a new long term guest. The apartment is on the border of La Boca and San Telmo, a...

Must be new? Whenever I select USD to ARS in the app it says the max is $5k.

This guy near Palermo has exceedingly excellent reviews: https://maps.app.goo.gl/LiFkj5CPFEXKgse46

Buenas tardes, everyone! Does anyone have a recommendation for a repair person who can fix a broken window blind? I went to raise one of my roller blinds this afternoon and it came crashing down and there are several broken plastic pieces as a result. I need someone to come out and fix whatever...

Thanks! I'm not too worried about price, quality of the treatment is more important to me. My scalp is pretty scaly and itchy at the moment, and I've been getting some scabs, so I'd gladly pay twice that to get it cleared up as quickly as possible.

Can anyone recommend a good English speaking dermatologist in CABA? Or is my best bet to visit Hospital Británico or Alemán as a walk-in? The area or neighborhood doesn't matter to me. My Spanish is toddler level at best, so English is a necessity for me. Not insured, so I'd be paying cash. I...

@paulo COVID testing for travelers hasn't been a requirement for either Argentina or the U.S. for a while now. Of course, you're still welcome to take whatever individual precautions you might personally feel are necessary to protect yourself or others, especially if you've recently had COVID...

^ this is what I do when I go to Colonia. I have a thick paperback book and before leaving the bank I stick the $100 bills in the book, one every 50 pages or so. Keeps the money flat and crisp, and if I happen to get robbed I'm hoping the book will be overlooked or ignored. The book never leaves...

@Gringo80 you should seriously name and shame whatever cueva/cambio is screwing with you, especially if they are telling you that "big head" bills are worth less money.
