How do you find a seller's phone number?

[jajaja]

As topic says, how do i find it? I checked help and i found this page:

http://pages.ebay.com/help/tp/questions/member-phone.html

I have already requested the info 2 times and all i get is name and adress. Not even my phone number is listed. It also says:


If you feel your telephone number is being used for harassment, contact your phone company to report the situation.

How, there is no god damn phone number listed! O_o

You may be able to get it through Paypal, but I have no idea of the situation.

The seller would have to list the number open. Even so the seller would have to hae the option Money Order or check Accepted. Even so they have to have it shown.

When a seller had there number and I call them and picked up the item a couple of times. Yes I am that cheap when it comes to shipping in my own yard.

Unfortunatly the seller didnt have Paypal so i used bank transfer (common in Europe). So the sellers can choose to give out the phone number or not? That sux :( I tried e-mailing Ebay and ask for the phonenumber, but dunno if they will give it out, we'll see. Thanks for the help :)

A bank transfer is where you send payent direct threw your bank acount?

If so how do you protect against giving your account number out.
