If there's enough already in my PayPal account to cover the amount, it's never a problem. I think this happens because of the delay in getting the funds from your bank.

Hi, Kiyaana,
What number did you call to talk to a live person on PayPal? I'm dialing the general questions number 402-935-2050, and I get trapped in telephone menu hell. Here's my problem. I have never used PayPay before, I found an item on the swap meet that I want to purchase, and the seller uses PayPal. So I go out to PayPal and try to set up a new account. When I filled in all the fields and hit submit, I got a message telling me that an account existed, and asking me to enter my credit card info to verify who I am. This is really freaking me out, and I want to talk to someone at PayPal about it, but I can't seem to find an option on the menu tree that will actually connect me with a person.
Any alternate phone numbers you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Also, can anyone tell me if I need my own account? If the seller has an account with PayPal, can't I just use my credit card to pay her?
Thanks,
Sylvia
