Phone numbers for Ebay and Paypal

If you're having a problem with eBay - or with an eBay transaction - you are certainly subject to frustration. You will understandably want to talk to a real human being and will begin looking for an eBay phone number. Sometimes eBay's help is confusing, but you are well advised to try their help page first. That's because you are likely to encounter more problems in the future, given the nature of human beings, some of whom are dishonest. And it's empowering if you can maneuver your way through the maze without having to depend on eBay itself.

Make certain you are prepared before calling:

When you speak with an operator, you are well advised to know the eBay rules. They will ask you what you've already done to resolve the problem and if your answer doesn't fit their rules, you won't get the help you want. For instance, let's say you are upset about an unpaid item. The eBay rules state that

Sellers can report an Unpaid Item up to 45 days after the transaction date (i.e. the date when the buyer commits to buying the item and the seller commits to selling it). Usually the seller must wait 7 days after a listing closes to file an Unpaid Item Dispute. However, in the following exceptional cases, the seller can file a dispute immediately:

* At the time of the filing the buyer is no longer a registered user of eBay.

* The seller and buyer wish to mutually withdraw from the transaction.

So if it's only been three days and the buyer is still a registered eBay user, or it's been 60 days, then you're out of luck and will get no help or sympathy from an eBay rep.

please don't abuse the system by calling with non-issues, they are more likely to change they're telephone numbers because of abuse.

These numbers are for powersellers only! But they will most likely help you anyways.I cannot guarantee the validity of the numbers though.

Some advice before calling Ebay.

Some suggestions before calling eBay:

* Try the online contact forms first. Go to the front page of eBay and click on the "Help" link at the right top. Why? Because using the eBay contact phone number first can aggravate the personnel and predispose them against you. They will ask you what you've done before contacting them, and they will tell you to go back and fill out forms before they will help.

* eBay knows that they could keep an army of thousands busy on the phone, so if the call volume gets too extensive, they will simply change their phone numbers and we won't be able to contact them in dire emergencies. (Check the online yellow pages and you will see that they are not listed)

* When/if you use the eBay phone number, you will discover that the best you can do is leave a message. No one answers these phones. So, will they call you back? A loud and affirmative "Maybe"!

Their company hours are 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM, Pacific time.

Of course, there's one sure way to get an eBay phone number, with your own personal rep to help: become a Power Seller. They have access to toll free phone numbers.
