All of eBay and PayPal's contact info

If you've ever had a problem with eBay or Paypal, you know how hard they can be to reach and especially to get ahold of a real live human being. At least of one that is not in the call center in India. Well, now The Consumerist and ScrewPaypal.Com have put together a page of all the contact info you could possibly want for these two companies. Call, fax, e-mail, or carrier pigeon. This link will tell you how.

Talk about an Impractical Practical Joke!

I am not a big one for practical jokes. Most of them just strike me as cruel. But this eBay auction has to be easily the most creative attempt I have ever seen.

You are bidding on a rare chance to traumatize a treasured friend or relative with baffling, mind-numbing, mystery correspondence from abroad.

Here is the arrangement:

I will be spending the Christmas holiday in Poland in a tiny village that has one church with no bell because angry Germans stole it. Aside from vodka, there is not a lot for me to do.

During the course of my holiday I will send three postcards to one person of your choosing.

These postcards will be rant-ravingly insane, yet they will be peppered with unmistakable personal details about the addressee. Details you will provide me.

The postcards will not be coherently signed, leaving your mark confused, guessing wildly, crying out in anguish.

"How do I know this person? And how does he know I had a ferret named Goliath?"

Very interesting, mildly insane, and undeniably cruel.
