Change your PayPal Email Address
If you want to change your PayPal email address, you are in luck. The actual process is simple. Even if you’re not ready, it may take some time to complete.
For PayPal, this means adding an email address and credentials to your account.
You can associate seven email addresses with your PayPal account and accept payments from any email address. However, the primary email address can only be an email address. Your main email address will be where you will receive PayPal notifications. This is the email address provided by the seller when making a purchase with PayPal.
If your main email address expires, you may lose important emails from PayPal or the seller you purchased from. Let’s see how to optimize the primary email address to avoid this hurdle. These steps depend on your device and the type of PayPal account you have.
