My numbers do not match. Ebay have my real phone number in Spain but Paypal only allow a UK number and address so they have my dads. When I had to verify I simply got him to answer his phone, call me with the code and I put it in to Paypal. Really is a secure way to verify everyone!
My UK bank account is still used on my Paypal account but the default address input screen stays on United Kingdom and the phone number cannot be prefixed with the Spanish country code. Bit stupid really - my bank do not care that I have a UK account but live in Spain so why should it bother Paypal?
Anyway, my phone numbers for Paypal and ebay do not match and have not matched for the past 4 years. Whenever Paypal decide to flag me to verify my phone number I just get my dad to do it again and call me with the code. You have to do it quickly otherwise you run out of time and then they send it to the registered address (my dad) in the post. Now that really is security that works!!
