So freaking frustrated, Anyone know how to connect with a live person at Ebay to help with getting a return label to a customer who I already sent the refund to? Key here is a live person.

Once you have refunded the buyer, you cannot provide a shipping label through eBay.

If you want the item back, issue the shipping label first and wait until receiving the item to refund the buyer. Refunding before that will prevent any links to a label from working or prevent a label from being sent; that is intended to allow sellers to refund without a return and avoid having to pay for unnecessary return shipping if the label has not been printed yet.

You may be better off asking your question here to get suggestions from experienced users.

To contact eBay, use the chat assistant to request a call back by starting on the Help & Contact page and following the links for your issue.

What options you see may depend on your particular issue and how busy that department is at the moment.

Try entering "agent" into the chat window. You may have to provide some context to reach the correct department. If you see a "Still need help?" or "More options" choice, either of those should lead to a call back option.

If you are unable to get a call back, try contacting eBay via social media direct message:

Once a Buyer has been refunded, eBay considers the case closed. The Buyer is not obligated to return the item. If you are in communications with them, and they are willing to return the item, you can purchase a discounted label to send them on PayPal or Pirateship.

I'm sorry this has been so frustrating for you. We are always here to help.
