I need help. I'm trying to fix the issue with the phone number that is on the account. I recently called customer service and had them update the phone number tied to my account. For some reason, as of now, that phone number has completely disappeared from my account. When I go to log in and it wants me to verify myself by sending a text or calling me to give me a code, there isn't even any phone number to choose to have that sent to because it has mysteriously just disappeared! I've tried the option of adding a phone number but no matter what phone number I try to add, ALL OF THEM LEGIT, NOT VOIP BUT GENUINE PHONE NUMBERS, it tells me that that type of phone number is not supported. Also, all these excessive security checks when doing stuff on PayPal is severely inhibiting me from doing anything I need to do such as sending a friend money I owe him. Issues using my account and sending money. All of these unnecessary security checks has done nothing but **bleep** up my account. 😠😩😭🤧 I am at my wits end. I've had enough. Any help would be VERY appreciated. ... View more
