What is my paypal account number

@boss3

The email address you use with paypal identifies your paypal account.

There are some very misguided - and frankly rather rude - replies to this puzzling question.  Yes, there *is* an account ID for each user and it's not just the email address and people trying to transfer money to/from bank accounts may need it.  Unfortunately, PayPal change their layout so often that the solutions to finding the ID that people have posted earlier no longer work.

Yes, there are rare occasions where your account number will be needed for reference. In order to get it, all you do is:

Click on Summary

Go down a little and click on 'View Statements'

Choose any one of the dates that slide out on the Right (any one of them except 'Current activity')

Click on the hyperlink for 'Full Statement' (it will then download a PDF file of that statement time period)

Open that PDF, and your 16-digit account number will be at the top.

Hope that helps anyone that may have this question!

There is NO account number unless you have paypal credit.

Your email address identifies your paypal account.
