Requested seller's phone number before payment | Members help members

Hi, I won something on eBay. When I wanted to pay for it, a window popped up asking me to provide my phone number in case the carrier had any questions. I didn’t want to do that, but I had no chance of completing the payment process without entering my phone number. Shortly after, I got a message on my phone saying they were sending me the code I requested for the other device. I never requested a code. My question: can someone do anything criminal with my phone number? I have ordered from eBay very often and a lot, but until now nobody had ever asked for my phone number. What do you think I should do now? Many thanks for your help
