How to stop sellers from having my mobile number?

I know that ebay needs my mobile number but I am finding it annoying that sellers have access to it as well. How do I keep my mobile number on record for ebay to use but stop sellers using it? Cheers.

You can't do that I am afraid.

As you say, Ebay do ask for your mobile number and then, every time you buy an item, they pass your number on to the seller you have bought from.

Has it been an issue?

Personally, in 20 years, I have never phoned a buyer or had a phone call from a seller I have been in a transaction with.
