The phone number is linked to their PayPal account. When you send money for goods and services, you have the option of sending to an email address or phone number. Click Send & Request and it'll ask for email address or phone number. Be sure to select "Paying for item or service" instead of "Sending to a friend" just under the amount field to receive purchase protection on your payment. The seller will pay a PayPal fee to receive payment. IF the seller asks for a friends and family payment, do not appease them as you will negate your purchase protection.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
