I called because I could not combine shipping for a customer. The agent was unable to answer my questions and just didnt say anything- then she accused me of yelling at her and she hung up-
Very bad.
Why cant you make it easier to talk with a human who knows what shes doing?

Over charging

I pay my bill in December and now Im getting overcharged I dont want to lose u guys but Im not paying again see if u can help me I have proof that I paid

Gael Twq
The representative was terrible, cut me off, talked over me, and would not direct me to someone I could talk to resolve my issues, I will never deal with eBay again, it took me 3 hours to just talk t,

Horrible, I will never have anything to do with them again, hiring people like that, is horrible all I tried to do is reach a supervisor to, explain obviously I had a case of someone using my email back in 2015, that's how long it had been since, I even got on eBay, never sold anything on eBay, she refused to help me and very rude! As I got rude towards the end, when she refused to listen to me and told me I was going to have to pay for something I didn't even do back in 2015
