The PayPal phone number is 1-888-221-1161 for account holders and guests in the US, 020-8080-6500 for the UK customers (may be charged at a national call rate), 0800-365-9448 for landline calls, and 1-402-935-2050 for guests and account holders outside the US.
The PayPal customer support is available via phone from Monday to Sunday between 6 AM and 6 PM PT.

The process for making a call as an account holder is different from the process of making a call as a guest. To make a call as a guest, you only need to dial the appropriate phone number depending on your location.
Here is the process for making a call as an account holder:

  • Log in to your PayPal account.
  • Go to the help center, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on “Сontact us”.
  • You will be led to a new customer service help page, scroll to the bottom, and click on the “Сall us” option.
  • PayPal will provide you with a one-time pass code and dial the phone number provided - you will be required to provide it during the call.


PayPal states categorically that they will only discuss account details with the account holder. The code is part of the verification process to ascertain that you are the account holder and it expires after an hour.

PayPal has a comprehensive help center where you can find answers for most common customer issues. The help center has three categories: personal help (for personal account related issues), business help (for business account issues), and technical help.
If you can’t find an answer on the FAQs, there are 3 more ways to get assistance:

  • Report a problem at the resolution center (for transaction-related issues).
  • Message - since there is no direct PayPal email address to write to, the PayPal message center option is the best channel for chatting with a customer care representative. Click on “New Message” and provide details of your issue on the text box then click on the ^ button.
  • Community forum where you can find answers by looking at responses to other customer’s similar questions either by PayPal customer support representatives or fellow customers.

The PayPal customer support is most active on Twitter (@Paypal Support). Here you can either tweet your question or send a direct message. Sending a direct message is the best option for questions that are specific to your account and include personal information.

Frequently Asked Questions

PissedConsumer collects contact information primarily from official companies' channels, such as corporate websites and verified social media pages. Data from these sources is usually added without additional individual verification. If the contact comes from a secondary source, the PissedConsumer team verifies it against fraud and abuse reporting databases and conducts additional validation, including test calls, prior to publication. We also perform regular, selective spot checks and respond promptly to users' reports and requests to ensure the data is current, accurate, and secure.

Phone numbers published on the official company website or its verified social media pages are considered authoritative at the time of the information collection. For contacts obtained from secondary sources, the PissedConsumer team conducts risk screening and additional validation before publication. We also promptly verify any phone numbers reported by the community and remove records that fail to pass verification or update their status.
Contact information posted by users in comments and reviews is not verified by PissedConsumer and may be unreliable. We suggest relying primarily on the official contact details in the company profile and reporting any suspicious content through the reporting form for your safety. Also, note that the phone numbers shown in the ads are not associated with the company's official contact details.

The PissedConsumer team always maintains the accuracy of contact details and reverifies phone numbers and email addresses of the companies. We prioritize reverifying data reported by our users and data that shows warning signs. Besides, we quickly check phone numbers that seem disconnected, reassigned, or compromised. Our team also promptly updates and cross-checks data when verified company representatives report discrepancies in contact details. However, please note that we do not guarantee fixed intervals for revalidating every listing.
