    The last item I collected, the phone number was sent through as ohsevenseveneightone twofour etc! and that was for an item sold on ebay - everyone is paranoid now.

    I recently sold an item which was for collection only, which i dont do very often - I sent my phone number normally but I did choose my words carefully, e.g. i didn't write "my phone number is ...", more like "i'm on ....", not that it should really be an issue as the sale was through ebay but i know they still object if they feel like it...

    If you have already purchased an item on Ebay it is perfectly okay to exchange contact details.
