I am starting to use paypal more and more as an easy and convenient way of sending money. However when I first set up the account I used an email address that has my full name in it. I want to either hide that email address or change it. How do i do that?

Your primary email address identifies your paypal account just like an account number identifies your bank account.
So you can't change your email addy just like you can't change your bank account number.
However you can have up to 8 email addresses on the one paypal account.
If you add another and want to use it for selling on ebay make sure you change it in the payments section in the paypal box DURING the listing process.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.

Thank you, but how can I use one of these additional email addresses to send a payment?
