Received account invoice showing total amount due -$147.99

Question

I haven't sold since 2011. I received an account invoice in my E-mail that says "Total invoice amount due -$147.99. The account is up to date. No payment is due at this time." (The -$147.99 is in green.)

This prompted me to looked at my account & messages in Ebay & messages show I received this message also in Feb but my E-mail didn't show that one. I looked at my account & show no selling. I have purchased some things from time to time. I use to have a store I still paid fees on thinking I would get back to selling but it is no longer & was deleted way back. So, I'm not being charged anymore. I tried that virtual assistant but that is no help. Question is how do I contact a real person at Ebay? Thanks

Hi @threadssew It looks like you are OWED $147.99 ... indicated by the minus sign AND the color green! ðŸ˜Š Contact eBay and verify that you do, indeed, have a CREDIT balance ... and then ask how you can gain possession of it. [eBay used to send seller a check for the balance ... but I'm not sure if that's still the way it's done.]

I believe this (green) indicates a credit balance.
