Hi there,
Adding another email might not really help as your Wife would still need to use the primary email address to log into the account. Adding her as a secondary user might help.
You can add secondary users to your Business account and select their access privileges.
Here's how to add secondary users to your account:
- Go to http://www.paypal.co.uk/ and log in to your account.
- Click ‘Profile’ near the top of the page.
- Click ‘My account settings’.
- Click ‘Get Started’ beside ‘Manage Users.’
- Click ‘Add User.’
- Enter the user's name, a user ID and a password.
Select what the user can access under ‘What are PayPal account privileges?’ and click ‘Save.’
If you add a user who has money-moving privileges, you will need to sign an authorisation form and then confirm that person’s identity. You can do this electronically through your PayPal account. Simply review and complete the authorisation form that appears after you add a user. After you click ‘Authorise’ an identity confirmation form appears. Review and complete the form and click ‘Submit.’
Note:
- To log in to your Business account, the secondary user enters the user ID and password you created.
- You can edit the secondary user’s account privileges anytime.
- You can permit a secondary user to discuss your account with Customer Service.
Here’s how to edit a secondary user’s privileges:
- Go to http://www.paypal.co.uk/ and log in to your account.
- Click ‘Profile’ near the top of the page.
- Click ‘My account settings’.
- Click ‘Update’ beside ‘Manage Users.’
- Select ‘User Name’ and click ‘Edit.’
- Edit the privileges and click ‘Save.’
Here’s how to permit a secondary user to discuss your account with Customer Service:
- Go to http://www.paypal.co.uk/ and log in to your account.
- Click ‘Profile’ near the top of the page.
- Click ‘My account settings’.
- Click ‘Get Started’ beside ‘Manage Users.’
- Click ‘Add User.’
- Enter the user's name, a user ID and a password.
- Select what the user can access under ‘What are PayPal account privileges?’ and click ‘Save.’
