They don't want you to know about this number, but it's very easy to remember:

800-EBAY-COM

Also, a general warning to everyone: NO reputable business will ever, ever, EVER send you an email or a demand that you "click here" to reverify your information (nor will they call you and make such demands). It just doesn't happen. If you ever get such an email (or phone call), IT IS A FRAUD.

I bought a brooch on eBay and never received it. After 45 days I wrote a "neutral" feedback on the seller and got a warning (suggestion) from eBay to try "Dispute Resolution". That site asked me to give my email AND password. I'm very sceptical of doing that so I very much appreciate that telephone number.

Yes, that happened to me. My account was hijacked and an auction posted in my name. I found out when I received an automated email from eBay saying I owed a fee for posting an auction for an extremely expensive camera. (The auction never completed, so at least I didn't have a buyer expecting me to ship them something.) They quickly investigated and found that yes, my account had been hijacked. I changed my password, and everything's been okay since. Now I know better. Sheesh.

Thanks for the phone #. I recently received one of the authentic looking scam requests for all my personals. I knew it was scam but couldn't find a way to report it.

I also had a hard time finding a way to report a new email address, but finally found that.

These things ought to be very easy to find and be defined by large and eye-catching print.
