I checked out as a guest by mistake and the item came. It is Georgio Armani Aqua Di Gio Absolu. It is a fake. I contacted Ebay customer service over the phone who found my order, created a refund/return request with the seller. The seller promptly closed the request stating that Ebay closed their store.
I am unable to self serve as the purchase isn’t tracked to my account. When I try calling back, I keep getting no agents are available outside of normal business hours.
Any advice on normal business hours from the US? Or what to do in this situation?

Sellers cannot close return requests without either refunding or supplying a return label.
Since you bought as a guest you can go to the original email and request a return from there OR go to the credit card you used and file a charge back.

Customer service reps cannot do anything physical...only chit-chat on the phone.
I suggest doing an item not as described...open an eBay claim yourself.
I don't think a customer service rep can create a refund/ return request with the seller.
As far as eBay closed their store...you can still get a refund.
Go into 'guest' as a buyer and look for how to return an item as a guest.
