Do you enter your personal phone number for Paypal Business Account?

yourreviewer · 04-03-2009, 07:04 PM

Hello,
I am trying to register for a Paypal Business Account and there is a phone number box that needs to be filled out. I was wondering if you guys give your personal phone number, if not what are the other options? Please advise.

Thanks,
Dan

Be careful what numbers you enter.

In the future, if your account ever gets limited, they expect to be able to call that number to verify that you are you.

That caught me out once when I was abroad and could not get to that phone (obviously).

Cheers,

Neil

I put my mobile (cell) number in.

So, if I give my phone number, customers can call me, right? I am trying to figure out a way where I don't want the customers to start calling my cell phone. I don't have a LLC or a business per say, so I am wondering what options I have.

Paypal doesn't give out your phone number to buyers - at least I've never seen it done or gotten calls to the number I listed. Buyers see the email address you've used as contact info.

Oh wow! That's great. I didn't know that. I would have no problems Paypal calling me on my cell phone.

Thanks
