You need to contact customer support to help you access your old account  <removed>

You can’t speak to a human without giving them an old phone number which I don’t have. Any other ideas? Thanks

If its been dormant for that long then odds are paypal have closed it.

You can still phone but need to go through the correct process so you get the code etc.

Click on the words "Help / Contact" at the bottom of paypals pages and use the phone option in the blue band at the top OR very bottom of page dependent on what country you are in. Scroll down past the list of help questions and click on 'Call us' bottom of that page. SELECT GUEST OPTION and get the code.

When you get through don't select any options just hang on till you get transfered to an agent OR press '0' OR just say the word 'Agent' repeatedly.
Freephone from a UK landline or UK mobile number.
