The San Jose headquarters is a corporate campus. It is not a walk-in customer-support center, product-return facility, or marketplace pickup location.
Do not mail returned merchandise to eBay headquarters. Follow the return address and shipping instructions provided through the official return case.
Step 1: Contact the Seller or Buyer
Use eBay Messages to contact the other party. Keep all communication on the eBay platform so that a record is available.
Step 2: Open a Return or Report the Problem
Use Purchase History to report that an item was not received, arrived damaged, differed from the listing, or requires a return.
Sellers should use the Seller Help process for payment holds, returns, listing removals, account restrictions, or buyer disputes.
Step 3: Ask eBay to Step In
If the issue is not resolved, ask eBay to review the case when the option becomes available. For many buyer cases, this option appears after more than three business days have passed since the return or missing-item request was opened.
eBay states that it normally aims to respond within approximately 48 hours after stepping in, although some cases take longer.
Step 4: Contact Customer Service
Use the Help Center to request chat or a callback. Provide the order, item, return, or case number.
Step 5: Appeal the Decision
If an appeal option is available, provide new evidence showing why the original decision should be reconsidered.
Step 6: Secure a Compromised Account
Change the eBay and email passwords, review listings and purchases, remove unfamiliar payment details, and contact eBay immediately. eBay provides official hacked-account guidance.
Step 7: Consider External Escalation
Depending on the complaint, customers may contact:
Marketplace cases, payment disputes, returns, and appeals may have strict deadlines.
