Hello alll,
I have changed my email address and need to edit my old one. I tried and paypal does not allow me to do so. How can I edit it to apply my new email address?
Solved! Go to Solution.

you rock! I was having same issue as everyone else, able to add a new email but couldnt figure out how to make it the primary one ! I kept clicking " edit" primary when in fact its simple once you know to "edit" the new email and then choose the option to make it primary..thanks again and Happy New Year, you made my day 🙂

What worked for me is - click on the Settings icon next to Log Out; this takes you to the Profile page; click on + in the Email section and enter your new email; click on Update for the new email; select the option to make it the primary.

I had the same problem and I could never figure it out until I forgot my old email password with no access to it. I was beating my head against the wall. Instructons don't say click the + next to the email you want as a primary. Ugh! Thanks for your persistence! Lisa

The missing step in this thread is we need to log out and then log back in. When we do that we will have the option of making our new email address primary. Then we can delete the old one. Hope this helps.

Thank you!
This was indeed the missing step that I was missing! Without which the recommended "solution" did not work!
