"Ask us to step in" not available even though it's been more than 3 business days
How can I get help? I received an incorrect item, so the seller should be paying for return shipping. They haven't, and even though it's been more than 3 business days, the "ask us to step in" option isn't available. Nor is a live agent to chat with. Help! How can I speak with a human to get this issue resolved?

When did you open the return case? Did you file a "not as described" return?

OP10 months agoYes, I opened a return case on 7 Oct as a "not as described" return. It is telling me to "take action" by returning the item to the seller, but the seller has not provided a shipping label or responded to my messages about how I will be reimbursed for return shipping. eBay says "The seller let us know that they provided a way for you to return the item. If that's not the case, contact the seller." I've contacted the seller multiple times and they have only provided a return address, not a shipping label or anything else. And I don't have an option to "ask us to step in" even though I opened the case 10 days ago.
