I have a $420 pending charge made in Arcadia CA. Not only have I never been to Arcadia, I'm currently physically in the Philippines. I tried to call, but was informed to do it on the website. Hold time to talk to  someone was 42 minutes, and I don't have enough money on my phone to hold internationally anywhere near that length of time.   I logged into my account and went to Resolution Center > Report Problem > Select Transaction > Continue > and got a series of issues to choose from, all with unselectable radio buttons.

I attempted to contact someone through the resolution process, but only got a refund after writing in every text input box that the transaction I chose was fine (obviously nobody read anything that was entered, PayPal chose to refund the money when the seller wasn't at fault and I said so).   I don't want to call because I'm in the Philippines right now and my phone provider charges $3.50 a minute for calls to the US.   How do I reach an actual person at PayPal via email? ...
