I am having this exact problem. I created a new ebay account using my second email back up address. Without thinking...my first ebay sale put the payment to my second email address. This created a second account ....I had to call and get PayPal to close that account. There is $45 pending to that email address. They tried to confirm the email too but they could not and said I could just do it. For two days I have tired with the same message " We're having some trouble completing your request. Please try again shortly." I am beginning to think the common issue is the pending money in our second email address?? I've messaged for support ...awaiting answer.
