Customer Replay

can you just send me the instructions to send from venmo to pay pal

Please follow these steps:
Step 1: Connect Venmo to Your Bank
Using the updated Venmo app, transfer your Venmo balance to your bank. Remember, that most transfers on Venmo are free. But, if you want a Venmo instant transfer to Paypal, this will incur a small fee.
If you want to avoid paying excess fees, hold tight for a few business days. In one to three business days, your Venmo transfer should arrive in your bank account.

Customer Replay

I want someone to send me $ from venmo to pay pal

Okay
Then it's a different situation.
Please use this, you need to connect your Paypal to your Venmo account.
Set up a bank account and link it to both your Paypal and Venmo accounts:
Go to your PayPal account and select Link a bank if you’re on the website or Banks and Cards if you’re in the mobile app
Enter your online banking details as requested and make two small deposits
Proceed to your Venmo account, go to Settings and select Payment Methods
Select Add a bank or card and choose your verification method

Customer Replay

Can someone else using venmo send money to my paypal acct

Yes
Please read this :
Either online or over the mobile apps of the respective services, you can transfer money from PayPal to Venmo using a common bank account. To get started, you'll need Venmo and PayPal accounts in the same name as your bank account.

Customer Replay

so I still need to resolve my venmo problem, I receive no email when I try to reset my password

Please make sure to check the "Spam" folder as it sometimes sends it there.
If you still do not receive the code.
Please try the same reset method every 25 minutes.
If that still will not work you will need to contact Venmo directly regarding your issue,
