Hi. How can I CHAT with an eBay's agent? I won several auctions, and the seller refunded me because he didn't get the price he wanted.

Nothing to "chat" with eBay about.
But if you feel you must
use Help & contact located at the top or bottom of most pages.

There is NOTHING that any agent can do. You can 'report' the seller (which does next to nothing unless it becomes a habit for that seller and many are reporting)....
but more than likely the seller just has no clue how auctions work as they needed to either add a reserve (at a cost) or the preferred way for both buyers & sellers, start the auction at the 'least' that a seller is willing to take.

All you can do is leave feedback.

Don't waste your time contacting eBay unless he cancelled using buyer requested to cancel.

As others have said there's not much to be gained by contacting an Ebay agent. Ebay can't force a seller to ship an item unfortunatly.
If I had my way they would be barred from listing further auctions if they won't ship but I don't make the rules. If they were an honest seller they would still ship even if they didn't get the price they want.
I'm just a buyer but I'd bar people that don't pay as well. Again I don't make the rules..................

Every buyer wants to ban a seller that doesn't ship.
Imagine eBay barring sellers that didn't ship an item because they dropped and broke it when they packaged it, or barring them because they didn't ship an item that went missing from their inventory, or the seller didn't ship because their house was destroyed in a fire.
eBay has no real way of knowing why the item was no longer available.

are you assuming this is the case or did the seller flat out tell you this?

No I'm talking about sellers that have an item up for auction and then don't ship when the auction ends. They have the item. If it broke when they packaged it they could provide proof of that in an appeal. If it's missing from their inventory, why would they start an auction on it?
I don't mean strictly banning buyers that don't ship but when it sells for cheap on an auction and then they cancel then relist it.................goodbye to them and good riddance.

A seller can cancel such auctions...
Giving 16 red doughnut holes basically killed the account so I don't think you need to talk to anyone now.

You ruined that seller with those sixteen unfair negs.
You might think he cancelled because he didn't get the price he wanted but Panama mailing conditions says coins, notes, currency are prohibited.
