What if question about Paypal accounts?

7 replies
What if you signed up and created an account on PP a very long time ago using
a website, an email address related to the website and then let the domain expire.

What could you do, if it could be done, to keep your present PP account intact?

I've never been asked this question nor have I every been in this position prior to now.

Thanks in advance,
Michael
PS, I know I could look it up on PP but I'm sure a WF Member or two have been
there and done this before.

Thanks again!

    If you're trying to use the PP Account for another website, simply point the account to the different or new domain, within your paypal account.

    And if you want to disassociate any email from that same account, then add another email, then change the email within that paypal account. And, be sure to make it the primary email for the account.

    Hope that helps !

    Agreed, it's easy to switch the website a PayPal account targets. I did that myself couple weeks ago.

    Not sure what the question/problem is...

    Did you lose access to the PP account or email address?
    Do you want to update the PP account?

    Or what???

    Gary, Just want to be able to keep my existing PP account if I let the web site and email address associated with the site go. Can it be done? Can I keep my PP account? Can I just change the info? What should/do I need to do? I don't want to have to go through the PP dance (ie, send me this and send me that) in order to keep my verified account.

    Thanks,
    Have a Great Day!

      How do I change my primary email address?

      I think what you're getting at, is that you want to change the email you use to login to paypal. If so, the above link is what you want.

      Yes you can. Just login and update the info and add a new primary address. I've done it several times w/ no input from PayPal.

      Just a heads up: If you print packing slips for orders, they may still have the old URL. I think theirs a bug in the system. After emails w/ PayPal I gave up trying to get this corrected this since I don't use them that often.

    Whenever I have a question like this, I just call PayPal. They're normally very helpful.
