Hello, when a problem came up, a seller promptly contacted me by phone on my landline number. I don't understand how eBay can hand out phone numbers. My account does have a mobile number listed, but that too -- or so I thought until now -- is only provided for use by eBay and should actually not be disclosed. Where this information is in the account details is a mystery to me. eBay itself can't be contacted, and the AI bot isn't intelligent enough to understand the problem.

Hi, @guryamba every seller can display the buyers' phone number stored under the delivery addresses. That has nothing to do with data protection, otherwise ebay wouldn't ultimately offer that to sellers. If you don't want that, make sure the next time you go through a purchase process to remove or change the phone number there. The phone number stored for ebay is the one you have stored under personal data.
