Potential security problem - dual 2 factor authentication

I recently ordered an item from boox.com using paypal. During the authentication with paypal I had to go through the 2 factor authentication process twice. The number the text came from was slightly different each time. From [removed] the first time. And from [removed] the second time.   Just seems suspicious.

I get the same. Any feedback on this?

None.  In a different transaction, the text message came from the same number as the first text message in the transaction I was concerned about. So I suspect it was not a security problem. But I changed my paypal password just in case, right away.
