Contact options for each countries Paypal customer services are accessed by clicking help/contact bottom left of Paypal pages.

1. Paypal phones when available (you can use the guest option if you can't log in).
2. Live chat is also randomly available.
3. You can send them a message, during business hours you may also be able to message whilst logged out.
Or
4. Have you considered contacting Customer Service via Facebook or Twitter?
You can send them a personal message from their Facebook or Twitter pages.
It's: https://www.facebook.com/PayPal and @AskPayPal for Twitter.

Hi @Alrub and @michael_178,

 

I'm sorry to hear that you've both experienced unauthorized activity on your account. I know that can be a scary and frustrating situation. As @kernowlass mentioned, the best thing to do is to contact our Customer Support team for assistance. If you're having trouble contacting us during business hours or by using the support options available on our website, I'd recommend sending us a private message on Facebook or a direct message on Twitter.


I hope this is resolved for you quickly!
