PayPal email address

I am expecting to get a payment from a company that insists that the email I use to communicate with them is the same as my PayPal email address. It currently is not. If I add the email I use to communicate with them to my current PayPal account will that do the job so I can get their payments? Or do I have to set up a whole new PayPal account using this other email account?

If the company is going to send you money via the PayPal System, then you need to give them the same email address you use to login to your PayPal Account.   That's how the system works.

If I add another email address and make it primary, will that address be my login email?

You can have up to 8 verified email addresses linked to your PayPal Account.   You can use any one of the 8 email addresses to log into your PayPal Account.   Note, regardless of which email address you use, you still only have 1 password.   Tip, always use a strong password.   A strong password is one that has a minimum or 12 characters consisting of upper case, lower case, numbers and special characters.

No.

 

PayPal does offer or assign email addresses.
