Phone Tips for Contacting Buyers to Resolve Issues
From a recent experience I had with an eBay buyer I am posting this information to help others that might run into the same or similar problems now or in the future.
There may be times when you need to contact a buyer over the phone for a transaction issue or something related to a sale.
At the same time though you don't want them to see your private number in their caller id. This will only work if you request the buyers number through either eBay email or their personal email. It won't work through the eBay link below because eBay automatically sends them your contact information as well.

I did a quick search on blocking caller ID when you make a call and I discovered some interesting information: You can temporarily block caller id by just dialing *67 before the phone number you are about to dial on your cell phone. This code is the universal command to deactivate caller ID. You can also place a permanent block on caller ID by just calling your cell phone carrier and asking for a line block.
This means your phone number won’t appear when you call any number. This is permanent and irreversible. While customer service may attempt to convince you to reconsider, the choice is yours.
If you temporarily want your number to appear when you have a permanent line block in place, you can dial *82 before the number.
Temporary blocking only works when you call individuals and businesses. Your phone number can’t be blocked when calling toll-free (i.e. 1-800) and emergency services (i.e. 911).
I Hope this is helpful information for everyone here and in the forum in general. How to Block Your Cell Phone Number From Caller ID
