How to edit contact email?

[KNorkin]

I want to send money to a saved Contact I haven't paid through PayPal in quite some time. I do not remember at all how long ago I entered them as a Contact/payee (probably years) or what email address I used for them. I cannot find any way to view or edit the details for saved Contacts. Does anyone know if this can be done?

If not, I suppose I can delete their current entry and create them as a new Contact. Seems there should be a way to edit their information without doing this.

Thanks for any help.

Hey there @KNorkin, 

Thank you for your post! 

It is not possible to edit a contact on your address book. However, you will have the option to delete and re-add the contact. 

For steps on this, please see: How do I add, edit or remove an email address from my PayPal contact list or address book?

I hope this helps, have a nice day.

Why is there not a way to review the email address or the phone number used to create a contact to whom i send money?

How on earth does PayPal justify this?  It is wholly responsible and diligent to check that a recipient of money has not changed their email or bank details. Oh, I can delete the account and set up again. Forget it. The user experience is terrible.

This solution just worked for me to view/edit contact details.  Very convoluted, but it worked.
