OT: How to get through to PayPal Customer Service

BunchOBull

So, I've been having some crazy account issues as of late...PayPal has a mind of it's own and randomly changes my primary phone number and confirmed home address. I've been trying to get this fixed for months...

So today I call the 800 number and just start saying "speak to a customer service representative" to every prompt the automated system gives me, though the phrase was never an option...after saying it about 3 times, I finall spoke to a living person in India.

I think my problem is fixed and I didn't have to sit on the phone for 30 minutes.

If you say "Pakistan sucks" you get right in.

This is no joke. Try to transfer $1,000,000 to your Paypal account from your bank account that is tied to your PP account. They will call you within an hour. I remember reading a newspaper article on some random website a few years ago where a guy had a similar problem and needed to speak with customer service but he could not get a human on the phone.

PayPal Customer Service

That might be the best oxymoron ever

Edit to add except maybe EBAY Customer Service

Ross,

If you'd like to speak to an English-Speaking American be sure to call 1-888-221-1161.

I have never had a problem using that PayPal number; never had to wait longer than a few seconds for a rep.

The regular 1-800 number will land you in limbo many times.
