~Carol'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.
~Carol: Purchased lamp for christmas present----broken in shipping due to poor packing of item -----talked to E-Bay and PayPal -----not resolved. PayPal sent form letter to me to return the lamp (ceramic and Glass shade which is broken) in "original condition" which was "excellent" to seller. Since item is not in excellent condition since shipping broke it, I am uncertain how sending the shade shards and disassembled ceramic figurine is going to be original "excellent" condition.
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?
~Carol: 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?
~Carol: 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?
~Carol: For that I would say three out of five.
GetHuman: And finally- any advice for other eBay customers?
~Carol: 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.
