Why are eBay debt collectors contacting me?

They are probably contacting you due to being in debt with eBay. The best thing to do is to go onto your eBay account and look at your invoices, as this may give you an idea of what you owe. If that doesn’t help you, it may be good to talk to them about the live chat feature. If they cannot help, you could try and get in touch with the debt collectors (the company you had the letter from). They are maybe able to tell you more about the debt and what it consists of.

What are my next steps to deal with eBay Debt Collectors?

The best thing to do is gain as much information as possible on eBay and its debt collection process. Gaining information on the debt collection company is also a good idea.

eBay will need to prove you owe the debt! You could write or email them as this will leave a paper trail. If eBay explains that they can’t do anything about it as it’s not already been sold to Transcom, try and contact Transcom and see if they have any extra details on the debt. If both eBay and Transcom don’t answer, contact our legal and financial help team.
