I'm getting old, I guess

I'm hard of hearing and speaking on the phone can be difficult, at best. Is there any way to speak to an EBAY type person via email or ebay message? The weekly chat isn't for 6 more days and this is more urgent than that.

Popular Discussion Board and GTC

As of 6/1/2019 11:51 PST the 3 leading discussions are regarding folks trying to deal with the GTC Nightmare. Funny how eBay will acknowledge that this is a leading ongoing problem on it's discussion boards yet has no remedies to offer. Job well done...
