I got money sent to me and I’m trying to accept it but every time it says “ The amount you requested doesn’t cover the fee. Please withdraw more money” but I got sent $20 and the fee is only $.20. HELP!!

Do you have a bank account to withdraw for free to, instead of debit card? Then they won't charge the fee. Or, is this a situation where the error message is unrelated to the action you're performing? Accepting money does not incur a fee. The fee, if any will be taken out of the money received.

Call early, during business hours, west coast time to try to get a US rep.

I think you have to have the bank account linked and confirmed to the PayPal account too.
