I bought something on eBay but the seller died!!! How can I get my money back?

Your seller is not dead.

They are on vacation until August 30th.

Certainly sad that the seller has died (not sure how you know?) but don't worry you get your money back from eBay, you can open an item not received case, it is eBay that will refund your money.

Why can’t I get a refund now? How do I get to speak to an agent?

The phone reps have a terrible reputation for getting you off the phone as soon as possible even if that means giving you the advice you want to hear instead of the advice you need to have.
