I've luckily gone through the last 16+ years without ever calling Ebay. Not something I would look forward to.
However, the wife wants me to call Comcast to get our cable bill straightened out. I think I'd rather do my taxes instead. ![]() |

I have two "secrets" to always getting by the automated garbage.
First I always look for a number on the "GetHuman" website. They are almost constantly up to date and I have great success with them - https://gethuman.com/ Second trick is, if you are calling your card company, mortgage company or anything of the like, always call or select the billing collection dept. Companies will leave their good customers on hold for an hour, but if they think someone is paying a collection they will have less than a 2 minute wait as they don't want to have that person hang up. Then just ask the rep on the phone to transfer you as you must have picked the wrong option. Works like a champ.

A good trick but make sure they don't transfer you back to the automated system. I have called other companies, got transferred to the wrong dept, then transferred back to the beginning. After long hold times along the way. Very frustrating. I always ask to be transferred to a person now.

I never have to wait very long because of my 'trick'.
Just select 'Close My Account' and they come a runnin'. Always go for the wallet! . .
