Been there, done that, and you can forget about it. Those SOBs don't want to hear from you and they certainly don't want to hear about a scam, because that means they might have to lift a finger on your behalf, and that is just not happening. Yes, I'm serious. Been there, done that. A complete waste of time. This is why they conceal their phone number | |||

I'm not sure what you mean when you ask for the number other than doing a Google search. Are you asking if anyone knows this number off the top of their head or saying you don't want the information if it comes from Google? I'm confused. But if you are just looking to find out how to contact a live person at PayPal, there is a website dedicated to giving information on how to reach live humans at hundreds of companies. A lot of companies make it hard to reach them by phone! Here is how to reach a person at PayPal: 1-888-221-1161 is the phone number to call to reach a live person in PayPal Customer Service. You can reach a live person during business hours which are from 5am to 10pm Monday through Friday and from 6am to 8pm on Saturday and Sunday. Press # and then option 2 and say "Speak to a representative". The average wait time to speak to a person is 1.5 - 2 hours. https://numberforliveperson.com/paypal/ ETA: I posted at same time as Para - to echo what he said - they are just going to read off whatever information is available on the Paypal website for whatever issue you are calling about, they are not going to do anything different. If it's fraud you are calling about it will be a big shrug and good luck to you, they are uninterested in tracking or finding anyone committing fraud. “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||

Oh, that is not the least bit discouraging, is it? And it's certainly not intentional, no sir. PayPal treats their customers wth respect. ![]() | |||

See if you banking institution can set up a temp sub account to your main account for the purpose of receiving funds only. Then tie PP to that account. Get the funds, transfer them out, then close that sub account. My Credit Union has multiple sub accounts, and that is how I manage some inbound and some outbound accounts, that can only be "touched" by me or the credit union.

There was a thread a while back about the new .gov regulations forcing PayPal to get more information from their users. There is no use in calling them about it, it's a government mandate and there is no getting around it. If you want the money transferred you will have to give the info. You can then go in and delete it after you get the money and close your account, but calling them about it won't help you at all. Sigmonkey lists a possibility to get around it, but it will involve you setting something up, calling PayPal won't help. Here is the information from the prior post:

This change isn't PayPal's idea, as posted above. But yes, their CS sucks. | |||

You'd have to invent a new adjective to accurately describe how much they suck. And, back when I had an account with them, there was no way to fully delete the account, so I went in and stripped all personal info from it. This was in 2002, I think, so they may have changed that, but, really, they're attitude towards their customers is so dismissive and contemptuous, I can't imagine them voluntarily doing anything to ease the path for those customers. Don't do business with these insects. Each time I say this about PayPal, a member will come along and tell me how convenient yadayadayada. Yeah, it's convenient, if every single transaction is as smooth as glass, and that's always the case, right? | |||

Then be prepared to be giving out CC info to a lot of people you otherwise would not. I can't say as I'm ecstatic with PayPal. I don't use it often, and will do so less, now that I have a truly secure CC, but it has come in handy.
I'm fairly certain neither eBay nor PayPal got the government involved. I'm guessing the gov't got itself involved.
It would have never occurred to me in a million years that an entity other than the bank from which it was issued could transfer money into a pre-paid CC account. Have you successfully done this before?

The advent of literally dozens of other free payment services does create a lot of options (besides the obvious just mailing a check or money order). I'm surprised you don't see more Google Pay, Apple Pay, Venmo, Zelle, etc. in gun forum transactions. | |||

A lot of people are not aware of them. But, give it time. I use Zelle every chance I get. No fees and instant funds. Q | |||
