Well its not ridiculous, its pretty easy.

 

Add the new email address and verify it > make it primary > remove the old one.

That's the whole point. It won't let me. I've been trying to do just that. Nevermind.

No you said you had tried to EDIT your primary email address.

 

You can't EDIT your primary email > you have to add the NEW ONE > then make that one PRIMARY > then you can REMOVE the old one.

 

And your welcome !!

Yes I have tried to that. At the 'make this my primary address' option where you press the tick. The tick doesn't work.

There are some email addresses that paypal don't accept.

 

Maybe give paypal customer services a bell and see if that is the reason or if not what the problem is?

 

>>>

 

Click on the words "Contact" at the bottom of your paypal account summary page and use the phone option (if there is one in the country you are in) > click on the "call us" option on the left (fees "may" apply so check the cost with your phone tariff first, as you sometimes have to wait a while to connect).

When you get through don't select any options just hang on till you get transfered to an agent or say the word "agent".
