    Is it possible to speak with a real person? I need to return something I bought ahead of time for my wife’s birthday and it doesn’t work. The return window closed before her birthday

    @natemaclean1. I'm sorry but an eBay agent will not be able to extend the 30 day Money Back Guarantee.    

     

    You will need to contact your bank or credit card to file a chargeback for an item that is significantly not as described.

    Talking to an agent is not necessary.

     

    Just prepare yourself for a return. Start with opening a return request for an item that doesn’t match the listing. You generally have 30 calendar days from the estimated or actual delivery date to do so.

     

    This is the guide for all kind of returns, including items that don’t match the listing.

    https://www.ebay.com/help/buying/returns-refunds/returning-item?id=4041 

     
    From the wrong item, you have to make pictures - at least one - and upload them. 
     
    The seller has to accept the return and provide a return label. (Or send shipping money, before you return with tracking.)
     
    The seller has to provide a clear return address.
     
    Ask eBay to step in, if the seller doesn't cooperate. You can do that 3 full business days later.
     
    All based on eBay's Money Back Guarantee.
