However, the seller has asked me for my phone number for tracking. I have never experienced this before. Is it normal?&nbsp;</P> Tue, 04 May 2021 13:39:28 GMT https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Member-To-Member-Support-DO-NOT/Tracking/qaq-p/6947694 jaffaquakes 2021-05-04T13:39:28Z https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Member-To-Member-Support-DO-NOT/Tracking/qaa-p/6947699#M1254157 <P>It is asked by the couriers sometimes so that when their drivers are near your home they can call you to let you know</P> <P>It is usually optional so you dont have to give it if you dont want too.</P> <P>Many do not want their phone numbers given to anyone</P> Tue, 04 May 2021 13:42:34 GMT https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Member-To-Member-Support-DO-NOT/Tracking/qaa-p/6947699#M1254157 redwick1 2021-05-04T13:42:34Z https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Member-To-Member-Support-DO-NOT/Tracking/qaa-p/6947702#M1254160 <P>Your seller probably wants it to give to the courier company so they can text you to let you know when the tracking says they are delivering it. Yes it is normal practice.</P> Tue, 04 May 2021 13:42:41 GMT https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Member-To-Member-Support-DO-NOT/Tracking/qaa-p/6947702#M1254160 *guinevere* 2021-05-04T13:42:41Z
