AI no customer service?
                 

Am having a problem issuing a full refund to a buyer.  Cost of item and the shipping fee they paid that they purchased by mistake.  Will not allow me to include the shipping fee.  Tried calling after a full on failure getting any information that had anything to do with my issue through AI.  Received a message "outside our working hours" and the line goes dead?  Waited to try calling this morning Saturday.  Same issue!!  Are there not any humans at customer service any longer?

I did request a call back 4 times after waiting hours.  No one ever called.

I have been selling on eBay for 20 years so I kind of have an idea of what I am doing.  It is not an old phone number.  The system would not allow me to enter the buyers shipping fee that they paid, only the cost of the item.

Using the screenshot I shared with you, the most I can enter for a refund is $26.09. That is the total for the item AND shipping. If I was allowed to enter more than that, I would be refunding more than the buyer paid. (eBay refunds the tax, so it's not included in the refund you issue).

I appreciate you taking the time to try and help.  I understand what you saying.  My issue is the total that eBay shows for refund is not correct.  Something technical is the issue.  Will have to request a call back on Monday because it is obvious that humans are not working.  What their "hours of operation" is I have no idea.

What is wrong with the refund amount? How is the total different from what the buyer paid for the item and the shipping?

eBay does not have a customer service number for you to call. You're either trying an old number from before 2020, or it's a scammer site. To speak with eBay, you have to request a callback.

 

The refund amount default includes the shipping price. for a full refund, just enter the amount displayed. See example below...
