If you have bought from a seller, Ebay will have supplied them with your phone number so they could easily find you on WhatsApp.

If it is a query about your transaction, then there is no reason why the seller shouldn't contact you that way.

What did the message say?

"There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn't true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.”

A whats App message isn't a problem, it's what the seller is asking in the message that counts,so beware,as all messages relating to transactions should be sent via ebay messages as a record.

No ... beware WhatApp messages ... could be the start of a scam ... contact is safer through eBay messages.
