un-wanted phone calls

[mcpapa]

Is anyone else having problems with un-wanted phone calls from buyers?

[gloryglorygifts]

No. In all my years of selling on ebay I've only received 2 calls from ebay customers, but my number is all over the web attached to my store name, so I am easily found.

     Not that I know of but I seldom answer calls from numbers I do not recognize so not sure if they could possibly be eBay callers or just other telemarketers or scam callers and they never leave voice messages.

How would the buyers get your number? eBay doesn't give out that info and it's not in the order details. Ive bought many times on eBay and have never seen a phone number listed for a seller. 
I found this in account settings Manage your Q&A for buyers mine is unchecked

It is given out if the seller selects that option in their Selling Preferences.

@mcpapacheck your settings and disable showing the phone number to buyers if that's an issue.

I know that, I guess you didn't see my edited post.

Nope, it still showed the old version when I replied.  Nice screenshot!

Thanks, I like to give people a visual representation of what they are looking for along with telling them where to find what they need. Most people are visual learners.

I love it when buyers call me on the phone, I send them a pp invoice for the items that they want to purchase!

People talk on phones? 😯

I'm lost!

How does the buyer have your number? Are you putting a business card in your packages or texting them after purchase?

I can see a buyer's phone number after they pay, but never contact them. I believe in privacy. 

I just checked a few recent purchases I made, and I don't see the seller's phone number. 

[buyselljack2016]

openly posting that you use eBay sales to connect to do off-eBay sales.

That takes some stones to do that.

So you are circumventing ebay and selling your items off site? That's against policy.

@mcpapa 

Are you divulging you phone numbers to these people? If you are, you are violating ebay policy.
