Hi there, I've recently bought an item from China and paid through Paypal. The buyer has now emailed me to ask for my phone number or he is unable to post. Does this sound about right or does this sound like a scam? Thanks in advance for any help 🙂

Hi Stevielay,
Thanks for posting and welcome to the forums :).
It may be possible that this is required to ship an item. A lot of tracking companies would ask for this information so that they may be able to call you in case you're not home or can't find the address. At the end of the day it's up to you if you want to provide this information or not.
