Hi, I need help closing an account/removing my email address from eBay.
On Sept 29th this year, I received a "thank you for joining eBay!" email in my Gmail inbox. I was surprised because I did not create an account (I use another email address for eBay and have had an account linked to it for years).
I have noticed, that there seem to be a lot of women with a name similar to mine in a neighbouring country and I guess they mistype their email addresses a lot, because I get a lot of emails that are not meant for me. Anyway, I usually just let the sender know it's a mistake and to double check the address with the proper recipient, but in this case, it seemed like an account had already been created, which I find very weird - I did not receive a confirmation email, just the "thank you for joining" email. I ignored it at the time, but then I started receiving suggestions/offers from eBay via email. I've had enough, so I used my email address and clicked the "forgot password" link to try and delete this account that was using my email and which I did not create. I gained access, saw a username I have never used/created but the rest of the data is empty. When I try to click "Close account", it takes me to a page where I have to provide my data (address, phone etc.) - information I do not want to provide or have associated with this particular email address, nor should I, since I never gave permission for my Gmail address to be used or linked to any eBay account. I cannot reach customer support via email/chat for the life of me and I do not live in the US so the Call Center is not an option. Please help me reach someone so they can remove my address and delete this "empty" account (from which I am posting this message now). Thank you. Screenshots added.
