How do I add a card from a closed account to a new one?

[Cypher7850]

I've been trying to link-up my PayPal to my card but it says it is being used on another account. The last account I had, I had to delete it to add my phone number.

Now I'm trying to add my Debit card to my new account, but I can't seem to do it.

Could somebody help me out?

I also used a different email for my new account.

Did you remove that card from your old account before you closed it?

[Cypher7850]

Oh god. I didn't even do that!

Is there a way for my old account to be re-opened to remove the details?

Yes but you have to contact customer services direct and they should be able to remove it for you >>

Click on the words "Contact" at the bottom of your paypal account summary page and use the phone option (if there is one in the country you are in) > 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 or say the word "agent".

Is it possible to email them?

Or do I have to phone them?
