Hello,
I added a new credit card information, but since I was about to pay for an item with using the new card (have not used PayPal for years..) I forgot to update my cell phone information beforehand. Due to security measures, now PayPal does not offer the chance to update the phone info (only to send a code to my old number) so I`m kinda stuck, cannot access my profile and cannot go on with the payment.
Any tips what I`m supposed to do?
Thanks

Try downloading the app and changing the phone number via settings / using the forgotten password option / trying again another day when sometimes you can get in without doing the verification and then you can go and change the number.
If that does not work then you would need to contact customer services so that they can i.d. you another way and then add your new phone number to your account.
Paypal phones are mostly non operational since covid but sometimes you get lucky. (use the guest option if you can't log in).
If there is one available it will show when you click help / contact bottom left of Paypal pages for options available in your country.
Live chat is randomly available.
You can send them a message.
Or
have you considered contacting Customer Service via Facebook or Twitter?
You can send them a personal message from their facebook or twitter pages.
