Customer service chat greyed out – cannot reply to staff thread

Hi eBay Team,

I was tagged by Kat (Community Team) in a thread regarding the customer service chat being greyed out, but the thread does not allow replies, so I’m unable to provide the requested SessionId there.

The issue is still ongoing  chat remains disabled and I cannot type or select options. This is blocking access to support and directly impacting my business.
THIS IS MY SESSION ID

Hi @mrami27-5 ,

 

Thank you for the tag. I am not sure why it won't allow you to reply on the main thread. 

 

Thank you for the providing the session id. I'll add it to the report with tech. 

 

Thank you,

Kat

Hi @mrami27-5 ,

 

I understand it can be frustrating but we don't have a timeframe on this. It's with tech  and we can only provide updates once they let us know.

It seems like its intermittent for some users so one thing to try would be to see if you can try a new session. Try deleting cache and cookies, logging out and back in and going through contact option again.

 

Thank you,

Kat

You aren't a business though - you are a private seller?
