they only match the phone number based on the info u give them.
Paypal can not tell what phone number you used when you applied for your credit card.
Paupal can not see anything more than a credit card number.
I am an ex banker and the banks are governed (in aus anyway) by privacy laws. In some cases they can share information with other 3rd parties who are banks etc. Maybe doing international money transfers via intermiadiary banks.
Paypal are not one of these, they are not a financial institute and banks will not give them any info.
If the banks gave info to paypal then they would have to give this info to every other company out there. Imagine the kaos, a crazy wife or husband would be able to track down their partners etc etc.
Same laws apply to phone companies, i was a manager at One.tel in Aus before it sadly went bankrupt. Great company it was too and they had legal cases where husband had busted wife etc and privacy law implications.
