Despite never having a problem logging into my eBay account over the years, I now suddenly can't log in and need to phone them, but I'm not sure which country the number is in and how much the call will cost? Not sure if my laptops VPN is to blame but it's always set to UK and I've never had a problem previously.

Anyone else ever got this same message?

I think there should be a 0 in front of the number: 0208 610 0157

Never had that message, if logging from a different computer ebay normally texts a code.

That looks dodgy to me.

Number is legit. If you search the original format it gets mentioned in threads on the eBay community pages.

I've now managed to bypass the verification process, seems it was my VPN causing the issue. I paused the VPN and was able to log in. I then turned it back on and I remained logged in.
