~Weidi's review of eBay customer service
GetHuman: So how would you sum up your experience for GetHuman's eBay customer community? We'll censor any IDs, numbers, or codes and any inappropriate words here out of respect to the millions of other customers using this resource.
~Weidi: First: ebays "contact us" is a useless waste of time that simply runs you in circles. This number actually allows you to contact them - and I HIGHLY recommend the "they call you" option - but the people, while apologetic, are really no help. I was trying to contact them because they - despite my refusal - linked my ebay and paypal accounts, and frankly, I don't trust ANYONE with my info.
GetHuman: Let's quantify your experience contacting eBay. On a scale of 1 to 5, how easy is it go get help on a eBay problem?
~Weidi: I'd give them a three out of five for ease of finding your way to help.
GetHuman: What about quality of communication. How would you rate that on a 1 to 5 scale?
~Weidi: I'd give them a two out of five on communication.
GetHuman: And what about eBay's ability to quickly and effectively address your problem?
~Weidi: For that I would say five out of five.
GetHuman: And finally- any advice for other eBay customers?
~Weidi: Try to deal with them early in the day or later. Don't forget any personal or account information you might need for eBay to know who you are.
GetHuman: Well there you have it. Some useful feedback and words from ~Weidi taken from his eBay customer service problem that occurred on November 9th, 2017.
