Seller using my mobile phone number in listing!

Hi, a seller on Ebay has again started listing my mobile phone number on their listings.  This happened a while back and after a few messages they finally corrected the number (it's one digit out).  I have messaged them again as started to get more phone calls from people asking me about things.

 

I can't find any way to actually contact Ebay about this.  Any ideas what I can do?  They've also made the same error on their actual website.

Personally, I would ring them (the seller, not Ebay) - as frequently as you feel inclined - and nag them until they make the change.

You can get a callback from Ebay using the link below:

Thank you for that, much appreciated.  Seller responded and has changed it again.

Is it a  business seller? as private sellers are not allowed to put telephone numbers on listings, except for Classified ads.

Business seller.  They've amended it now on their listings and hopefully they'll do the same on their website.  I've actually been nice and given people who have called the correct number, but obviously that courtesy only extends so far.
