How does a buyer get my phone number?

I have had several buyers call me to order an item I have listed. I don't answer unknown numbers. How do they get my number? Is there something I can edit to stop this? Why not email or message me instead? Today I was 100 miles away and driving.

I'm not one of your callers but I'll send you a PM.

Boji are you sure it’s a buyer? I get calls daily both on my cell phone and house phone from telemarketers. Usually someone trying to sell me a vehicle warranty. I have call blocking on both phones but they always call from a different number. I rarely answer unknown numbers - sometimes they leave messages. Either way, I block them but it does no good. PITA!

Just a little hint good Sir. The PM I sent you is not an inquiry to buy something. Please consider reading it.

Probably via your AAPK store and the internet.
When I go to your store and click on one of the knives, the information that pops up includes your business name (WOP). If I google that, I get a result that shows a phone number for WOP.
edit - I used WOP so that if you edit that out of your listings, your business name won't be in this post.

Yes, because they would leave a message because they they wanted to purchase an item but don't use PayPal. So they needed address to send payment.
I just want them to email or message thru AAPK.

The calls were to my personal cell phone number which I used when I registered here. I went in and deleted it a little while ago. I assumed administration required it but must not as I was able to remove it. I'm only at the business number 18 hours a week so I don't care if people call there.

I have had the cell phone number on my 3 eBay selling accounts for at least 10 years and have had NO calls from prospective buyers. That would be why I felt I could(should) list it here in case administration needed to contact me. Nope, I removed it.
