How do I change primary email

[Newemail]

Help! I followed the steps to change my primary email and I just get a message stating that this email is already added to my account. I know that but it won't let me delete the old address because it is the primary email. Can't find how to contact paypal for this.

Thanks so much for this. After much shouting, screaming and hair pulling, I came across this and it worked!

The problem is you have to release the email use from previous noticfication settings.

Here is what you do.

Click the "Cog" at the top right of the a screen to get to your profile.

Once there click the Notifications tab

You will now see your email address with an arrow next to it.

Click the arrow and it will open a list of the emails you have on file.

Uncheck the one you no longer want to use.

Then you should be able to go back and make the new email address primary.
