Cannot get in contact with eBay chat support
I've tried many avenues to contact ebay support for an issue via the chat. I do not like calling as I don't have a record of the call nor is it practical for me who primarily uses a desktop often. I also genuinely find better results if I chat with an ebay support member instead of calling. Is there any way to navigate the automated assistant to consistently get to chatting with an agent instead of being prompted to call eBay every time? Or is there an email I can use?

There is an "Email us" option that pops up now & then on Help options (along with "have us call" or "chat with agent") but it's not very reliable. They can takes days to a week to respond.
As you're in Slovenia, best option would be to contact one of their social media teams for assistance.
Only use the Private DM or PM Messaging - do not post your account info publicly.
Give them your User ID, your real name/address/country, the email attached to your account, Case # if applicable, and explain the issue in detail.
They usually respond in a day or two.

OP4 months agoThere is no eBay support email that I’m aware. Apparently they removed the option to chat with a specialist. You can only call them. Which is inconvenient in my opinion. I had a lot more progress done in solving issues chatting with a support agent on the chat messaging portal and I even got a transcript from it.

·4 months agoYour original message, as you know, is from July, 2025. I gather your problem hasn't been resolved.
After all this time, even if you were able to contact an eBay rep, it would probably be too late to get help from them.
You never did actually tell us the details of the problem. As mentioned, it is probably too late for eBay to help you. I see you're still shopping on eBay. If you run into further problems, feel free to return here and ask for help; however, keep in mind that we really need to hear the details in order to offer assistance.

·1 year agoYou can never call Ebay. You may request a callback.
Reopening a previous chat session may not be possible. If the results of the chat were inadequate, the next chat would probably also be crap.
The availability of human contact is not 24/7

OP1 year agoRight. It's only giving me an option to call ebay when I am using chat support on my desktop, and the wait time is usually over 15 minutes. I would rather chat with a support member instead of calling them but there has not been an option for this for the last 2 weeks or so and I'm getting frustrated bc of the lack of availability.

OP1 year agoI am trying to follow up on a previous chat session I had with a support member regarding a recent order I had. However, I cannot seem to get to a chat option when I need to contact them. I can't call them

OP1 year agoI simply want to "Chat with an Ebay Support member" when I have the option to contact them. However, it only has an option of calling them. I can't call people on a desktop.
