Over the years at different times I've listed & sold items on eBay. There have been with often long periods of time in between.
I've had this account since Oct of 2003. I had an account before this when I was in College between 1995 & 1999 and it was hacked in around 2000; I don't recall if starting a new account and closing the previous one had to do with.
I listed some items in the last 6 months and missed the fine-print about " free listings ".
In the middle of it I had some sort of eBay buyer - troll - type accusing me that I never had the items to begin with.
Which since he claimed he was going to report me to eBay I thought that I had to provide proof of ownership to the PM conversation - because I thought that eBay was or would be monitoring this. Without showing off my bank account, physical location, store where I purchased these - it's easier said then done to do so - time consuming.
When I bring this up it's to bring context to the situation - meaning that I was under a time crunch and didn't investigate all failure points to listing these items on eBay.
So I was partially distracted while trying to sell these items and perceived that I was not being charged for anything.
Long story short is after listing 4 items - none of which sold - eBay want's $281
Is there any sort of arbitration process in the current May 2021 eBay account?
It used to be that one could call the Dispute Resolution Center (if I recall the term correctly).
Is there any way to talk to a human about buying/ selling/ listings these days?
