Common customer service issues that this hotline provides service for includes: The best number to call based on statistics they gathered from 300, 000 eBay users is: 86 for customer care related issues. The skinny of it is that they are very unprofessional and unknowledgeable but I will discuss this a bit more at length after I explain how you can contact eBay by phone.Īccording to GetHuman, a company which provides info and help getting human representatives on the line, the average wait time is 14 minutes when calling eBay customer service. ![]() The last resort in my opinion is to try and reach eBay telephone support. Many people are not comfortable calling customer service because of different reasons (for example a language barrier) so I’m going to cover chat and messaging options as well. ![]() Let’s go over all the ways you can contact eBay’s customer service quickly. The absolute last resort from eBay’s point of view is providing you with a phone number to call their customer service team. That’s why eBay help center is geared towards offering you ready made answers for numerous topics and if you can’t find the answer it first sends you to the eBay community to seek help from fellow eBay sellers. Imagine if just 0.1% of those customers would need help from an actual customer service representative at the same time, that’s 170,000 simultaneous calls.Įven if a representative could take 3 calls an hour and assuming you would be willing to wait up to 40 minutes in order to get service, eBay would still need more than 60,000 support reps.īuilding a call center with such an enormous amount of employees is a huge financial expense, and I’m not even talking about the time it takes to build such an operation, the amount of training required and the complexity of automated systems needed to manage this are also quite unfathomable.

![]() Laurie becoming Michael’s sister is the first time a protagonist is directly tied to the killer in this series. The most obvious example would be the end of Halloween 4, as I pointed out, but the kernel of this idea dates all the way back to Halloween II. It is an idea that has been constantly touched on but never truly explored until now. Because even though that might be incredibly jarring to see play out on screen, it is something that has almost happened several times in this franchise’s 44 year history. What I really want to do though is simply take a look at the specific big swing this movie takes, the central concept of a character becoming infected, possessed, aligned with and even an accomplice to Michael Myers. And I don’t want to deride anyone’s tastes if they absolutely despised this movie, but if this movie is not right up my alley, then I truly don’t know my own tastes. As someone with a deep love of Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday, I am not the person to speak to that particular point. It is a big swing, especially for the concluding chapter of a trilogy, not to mention the entire franchise. ![]() ![]() It is at its very core, not for everyone. From there, it is a glorified remake of Christine with Michael Myers instead of a car. Corey is infected by the evil within the shape, and it grows inside of him (or awakens something within him) until it takes him over completely. Something happens the moment they lock eyes with one another, and the two become connected. After being attacked by a literal band of bullies, Corey has an encounter with Michael Myers that leaves him changed. He tries to find a way to move on from what happened, but the town’s perception of him is concrete and unwavering. Halloween Ends introduces a new protagonist/antagonist in Corey Cunningham, a boy accused of killing a local child in what was actually a tragic accident. Even Halloween III had the benefit of completely wiping the slate clean, so that its brand new, unconnected story was just that. This movie not only goes in a completely different direction from the two entries before it, but from really any other movie in the series as a whole. Spoilers ahead, as we’re going to get into the meat of the story. The new film, especially for a finale, is obviously divisive. Michael Myers would continue to be the sole face of the series-so to speak-and the future teased by the end of that fourth entry would not come to pass until Halloween Endshit theaters on October 14th, 2022. Jamie did not take up the mantle or take on a role as an accomplice, as the ending of Halloween 4 had seemed to explicitly suggest. Michael Myers was evil, but remained the only one of his kind. ![]() The evil had not been passed on, the possibility that it could not be contained only an apparent myth. Michael Myers returned to Haddonfield for his annual slaughter and for all the movie’s well known eccentricities, it was by all accounts a traditional Halloween sequel. Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers was released only a year later, showing a Jamie who was affected by the trauma of her encounter with the shape, but still a sweet little girl, no more murderous than she had been at the beginning of Halloween 4. Covered in blood, the girl stood silently, breathing heavily, and Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers came to an end, beginning the cycle a new, and promising a radical new direction if the series were to continue from there. With the evil finally behind them, they returned home, only for Jamie to put on a mask and stab her foster mother in the bath. As her foster sister warned the little girl to stand back, Jamie Lloyd jumped out of the way as a firing squad blasted Michael down a mineshaft to hell. On Halloween night, 1988, as Michael Myers lay still on the ground, his young niece touched his hand either out of curiosity, or sympathy, or some unknowable kinship.
