Obviously you raised a red flag at PayPal. Your best bet is to call them to straighten it out.

Hi there LauraBell,
For security reasons, a debit card or credit card can be associated with only one PayPal account. You received an error when you tried to add your card because the card you were trying to add was previously linked to another account.
I would advise you to call us by clicking on the contact link at the bottom of any PayPal page, we can then review the details of your closed account and maybe re-set the card for you.
Hope this helps!
