Question

I sold an item on ebay and when i went to accept the money an email was sent to my old email address which i no longer have access to. I had to use a number on this email to accept the money. i tried to change my email address to my current one, but i no longer have the opion of accepting the money when i go into paypal. What can i do to get the money now?

thanks
