Does anybody know the paypal phone number I can get a hold of to talk to an actual person? They like to hide their contact information..

Visit https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_contact-phone or you can directly call 1-888-221-1161

...1-888-221-1161

Yep, thats the one. Since I am from India, I use Skype to make long distance calls and PayPal is on the content list. :blush:

And for those that would like to find it themselves - you will probably need to be signed in first actually. Then go to

Help (upper right)
Contact Us (right column - a bit low)
Help by Phone (Service Center

This will actually also give you a temporary web PIN that might be able to speed a few things along with the call

ahh thanks. i tried that number earlier..the one help>contact us>help by phone> and it was all machine, but then i finally chose the features option and it gave me an option to talk to an agent..took like like 5 tries to find it though
