I accidently cancelled my direct debit for paypal and my paypal account is now in negative balance. I cannot make the payment to bring my account up to a positive balance as the direct debit has been cancelled and I cannot delete the bank account details and re-set up from paypal as it says I need to pay the oustanding balance before I delete the bank account.
Any ideas?

Bit of a catch 22. The only thing i can think of is do you know anyone else with a paypal account? If so then ask them to send you a gift payment via the personal tab in send money > that way no fees if they fund it from their bank account or paypal balance.
Then you can pay that person back with cash or whatever.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.

Hi there Garch2012,
Alternatively, you can call us & we can take a debit/credit card payment over the phone.
