Verify My Age just texted me on a number even Ebay doesnt have!

Just bought a Vape and was sent an email saying that I needed to go on to Verify My Age via a phone. I went on to the site from my phone, but when its stated the T&C I decided to close the page and email the seller my ID directly. About an hour later Verify My Age sent me a text telling me to verify my age.

The massively creep thing is that they texted  me on my new number, That number is about 2 months old and niether Ebay or Paypal has it. How the hell did they get access to this number?! 

I will be logging a complaint with Ebay about the seller. Has anyone else experienced this?

you gave him the number when you contacted him directly,

how on earth do you think ebay could give him a number they don't have?

In no way did I give the seller my number. The responce I got from the seller was "thank you for this" so there is no way for the seller to either know my number OR pass it on. My question still stands, how did Verify My Age get access to my number?

if ebay do not have your number they cannot pass it on

you say you went on the verify my age site with your phone, so that is how they got your number
