PayPal Here - broken reader and chip and PIN problems

I have two PayPal Here card readers (one is for backup). One of them just stopped working less than two months after purchasing it: it won't turn on, won't reset, and won't charge. Can anyone tell me what I can do to get this resolved/fixed/replaced?

 

The other issue I have is that the second reader refuses to accept chip and PIN payments. It hangs on 'Processing' with the card inserted. I have to cancel the transaction by removing the card, and then manually enter the card details which of course then adds a higher transaction fee. Mighty convenient for PayPal...

 

Does anyone know how to resolve that, as well?

 

I am at my wits end with PayPal Here, I really am. I am thinking of going to the Financial Ombudsman over the service I've received. Has anyone had to do that before and does anyone have any advice?

 

Thanks,

 

Steve

Just phone PayPal customer service and make sure you reach a PayPal Here specialist.  They do have a lot of technical knowlege and should be able to help.
