    I think if you go onto ebay.com you can get live help, don't know the link but maybe someone else will post it?
    Good luck!

    Angel there is no ebay help number that works unless you are a heavy metal, platinum type powerseller. All the numbers doing the rounds are for the switchboard only and won't help.

    OP, best use Live help as they seem much better geared to act quickly in cases like this.

    Not that I’ve had a problem as serious as this one, but… Is it just me, or does everyone’s Live Help chats end with them telling you what the problem is, what they would do if you were an American, that they can’t make changes to non-US accounts and that you need to send an email through the eBay website, as that will get to UK support?

    Its happened to me but everything was ok in the end.

    Remember and check every detail tho as the scammers change your address, email addys, all that stuff.
