Bank account closed but paypal needs to verify that it's mine

As my title suggest my PayPal account is locked out right now. There were charges that were sent to the wrong payment method. Bank refunded it and subsequently closed my account due to overdraft fees caused by the payments. I'm getting back on my feet again but I can't use my PayPal account. I've sent bank statements confirming the account is mine but from what I'm seeing the only way to reopen the PayPal account is for them to send two transactions to the account. How **bleep** am I? I really need this account to do my work.
