    Does anyone know how to amend their phone number? My old number shows up underneath my address but when i click on address it doesnt show it. Have gone through all the edits but cant find it. This is going to be a problem.

    When I go away, it's Shop Holiday Settings - I don't go near eBay, and only go online to upload holiday pics!

    So if you use different browsers for different ebay accounts they won't be linked??

    I don't have any phone no. recorded on ebay, and while I haven't sold much lately I did sell quite a few things last year.
    I know someone said "A valid phone number is an ebay account requirement." in a post above, but surely in the 7 years I have been registered they would have checked up on this by now??

    You'd think, wouldn't you? :p

    In reality, you're only likely to get hauled over the coals if you have a problem transaction, someone requests your contact details, finds no phone number, and reports you.

    Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j

    i had an alert on my account this morning, despite them having a number already. the gobsh1tes.
    helpful tips
    it's spelt d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y
    there - 'in or at that place'
    their - 'owned by them'
    they're - 'they are'
    it's bought not brought (i just bought my chicken a suit from that new shop for £6.34)
