I will be updating this as it plays out. I expect the outcome to be
satisfactory, but the route it's taking is like one of those nightmares
where you're trapped on a 15 dimensional mobius strip.

You may soon have another way to contact and possibly yell at eBay.
They just sent me an "invitation" email annoucing:

===========================================
Coming June 16: eBay Phone Support
===========================================
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
We don't give our number to just anyone (except you)
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Get access to eBay Phone Support:

Only invited members like you will be able to call our new number.
To access this faster service, you'll need to set up a PIN in My
eBay. Also be sure to add your current phone number to your profile.

Then, you'll be all set to go on June 16.

For some unknown reason, I guess it's a big secret. If you didn't get
an "invitation" I guess you're on eBay black list. My guess(tm) is
that I'll end up talking to a humanoid robot, reading from a script,
and talking in boilerplate. Kinda like a verbal version of your email
exchange with eBay support.
