Paypal - account details

[arby]

Have used Paypal many times without any issues.

Tonight I order something and the seller emails me asking me to verify my account 'to combat fraud' by sending him my landline and mobile phone number.

Being of a suspicious nature I replied saying I had no intention of mailing anyone I don't know my personal phone number. He replies back is it this? xxxxxxx and sure enough it is, so how long have Paypal been forwarding on phone details to sellers? is there an option to disable it?

I checked all my sales and not one has a phone listed.... :confused:

Could be the seller got it from your mailing address. I think PayPal does give that to sellers.

you can get it through ebay ! it sends both the seller and buyer phone number of each party via email!if either asks for it! used to be address aswell but im sure its just the number!
