It's just the way I generalise or word some of my comments as I'm sure you know very well.
Needless to say, there's only one person here who would take it literally !!
Some sellers don't like phoning buyers so rather than say "I'd phone the buyer" or "I wouldn't phone the buyer" by saying "Do you have the phone number " ( even though they have) it gives a suggestion of what they can do.
"Yes I do , I'll think about calling them" is what most friendly posters would think or say to each other
Obviously I didn't miss anything because I wrote:
"It's school holidays and the weekend but unusual not to let you know the size they want , especially when buying for children, at the same time they paid"
