@2015-holmw: Unfortunately eBay do not provide site users with a contact number. In some ways this is understandable - given that there are hundreds of thousands of site users, many of whom may well be dissatisfied with the service received and wish to speak to eBay directly, if eBay were to provide a contact number they'd more than likely receive so many phone calls that the sheer number of people calling them would end up jamming the switchboard!
If you wish to contact eBay Customer Services you can request a call back by clicking on the link provided here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/eua?id=5275&mkevt=1&mkpid. The lines are open between 8:00am and 10:00pm from Monday to Friday and between 9:00am and 6:00pm on Saturday and Sunday. However, I would recommend contacting eBay Customer Services first thing in the morning, as that way you've got a stronger chance of getting a call back from an eBay representative in Ireland, as opposed to one of the eBay representatives in eBay's Philippines-based customer service centre if you were to leave it until later in the day.
If you do manage to get a call back from an eBay representative explain to him/her what's gone wrong with your account and ask if he/she could help you to resolve the issue. If you get lucky and receive a call back from an eBay representative with an ounce of sense then you should be able to get the problem sorted.
