Hello!
Accidentally I have deleted a paypal's direct debit from my account a couple of weeks ago.
After that I bought few items on eBay, paid by paypal, but because of cancelled direct debit my money on bank account is still there and balance on paypal's is negative. I tryed to fix it looking for any information, and I found that I have to delete my bank account from paypal and readd it which I cannot do because of my negative balance. Also tryed just pay it for paypal but it is saying I need to readd my bank account. Infinite loop.
What can I do now?
thanks

Ring customer services and they can clear your neg balance via a card payment over the phone.
Click on the words "Contact us" at the bottom of paypal pages > click on the "call us" option on the left (fees "may" apply so check the cost with your phone tariff first, as you sometimes have to wait a while to connect).
When you get through don't select any options just hang on till you get transfered to an agent.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.

Well, I found an another option:
If I will click on My Account -> Add Funds -> choose "You move money from your bank account"
-> do a payment from my bank account to paypal.
Bank account is same which is linked to paypal. Will that work?
Edit: after that I will propably can delete my bank account and re-add it again, making everything working well.
