...When adding the email address I use that goes into my smartphone, my gmail acct, it says I can't because I;ve "already used that acct to request money from". Whats up with that?

Welcome to the boards!
Did you send a money request to your own email address? That's what produces this error.
Let us know,

...Did I send a money request from that email address... No. Thats not logical. But theres typically so much time between my transactions I can't really say. What would be the ramification of that anyway?

If you had sent a money request to that email address, then it can't be added to the account because it's considered a different person, since you wouldn't be paying yourself.
