Is my personal info available to a seller on ebay?

Sign in to disble this ad
Last night an auction in which I was the only bidder came to a close. Within a few minutes the seller called my home phone to discuss shipping arrangements. I wasn't there & my wife took all the info down to call him back. Heres the thing, he had my home phone & name which I never gave him. My phone number isn't listed & my name isn't in my handle other than "vinnybass." So, what gives? Does a seller have access to my personal account info? I found this to be a little disturbing on a few points. I'd never had this come up before & have done quite a few ebay transactions. So, can any sellers shed some light on this?

Did you pay with PayPal? If so, the seller will probably get your registered PayPal shipping address, possibly the phone number too, I can't recall.

To register @ eBay you have to give a valid name, address and phone number. If you win the auction, the seller can get this information.

Okay, Thanks guys. I just thought it was kind of unusual & I'd never had it happen before. On another note, I had just walked in the door from rehearsal & my wife sez: Some guy from ebay called...blah, blah, What did you buy now?

Now go do some stretching exercises for that 'lil guy!!!!

Even with just a name, some time on google and Zaba would probably net all the phone info needed.
