401 (k)
I got a letter from eBay (or former employee benefits) saying I have over $11,000.00 in my account. How can I get in touch with the department that can help me get the money sent to me? (minus obligatory taxes)
Thank you,
Thank you in advance for looking into this.

MentorAug 17, 2026 at 4:34 PMThere is money in a 401(k) account that is yours because you were employed by eBay?
Did you keep that letter?
I wonder if it was from a company that administers 401(k) plans for employees of eBay, Inc.
That letter should include a telephone number for you to call.
Or a website that you can visit.
Or a return mailing address.

MentorAug 17, 2026 at 4:30 PMDid you actually work for eBay in the past? 401(k)'s are not usually administered by the company but by a financial institution. If this is real you should have received a notice from the financial institution and not eBay itself.

You will need to contact Ebay. The contact information should have been on the letter they sent to you.

OPAug 17, 2026 at 4:24 PM · EditedI need my 401 (k) sent to me. Can you have someone take care of this so I can get the 401 (k) money sent to my house. The letter I got from you says I have an amount of about $11,750.00. This is the money I want sent to me.
Thank You
