How to get help from PayPal Merchant Tech Support?

I called the normal Tech Support about a problem where PayPal and my Shopping Cart, which worked together for a year, stopped working recently. The rep decided she needed to refer me to the Merchant Tech support team and created a case for them. They got back in 23 hours with some general words but no help, but said if I could give them an Express Checkout token, they would check their logs for me. It would have been nice if the first rep had asked me that.
I updated the case online, supplying the EC token. It has been 4 days -- 96 hours -- with no response at all. I guess I am a small vendor and just not important to PayPal.
Can anyone suggest a way to get their attention? I assume the problem is on my server or my Shopping Cart, but I need PayPal's tech support to get info they have so I can find the source of the problem and fix it. Right now, my sales have stopped, with no idea when or if PayPal will try to help me.
Very disappointing.

Hi moencomm,
Welcome to the PayPal Community Forum. 🙂
There are two ways to reach out to the PayPal Merchant Technical Support team: 1) via their website and 2) via Twitter @PayPal_MTS.
