Last night I received a phone call from someone asking if I was the lady who sold on eBay, thinking it was a buyer I have been trying to contact, I said I was. The caller then said that she saw that I was using Auction Watch to upload my pictures, and asked what my name was, and without thinking, I gave it to her, and the phone went dead. No call back. I am concerned that someone can get my phone #, who doesn't even know my name, and wonder if my information e.g. credit card are secure. Have you heard of any other such calls?

Hi Amber,
I checked and saw that your storefront has your phone number, which is most likely how this person got it. We take our privacy policy seriously -- if you feel uncomfortable about the possibility of this happening again, I would recommend removing it from your storefront. You may also want to check your preferences on eBay as you can add your phone number there too.
