Hello,
I've just realized when I tried to make a purchase by Paypal, that my Home phone has been typed incorrectly and Paypal automatically adds it to the Shipping address for the merchant.
I tried to remove or change the incorrect phone number in my settings, but it doesn't allow it because it's "primary" number. However, I have no other phone numbers that I can use as secondary number.
So, it's a deadlock, number is wrong, but I have no way to change it.

Dear Shradha,
Thanks for your reply, but it doesn't solve my problem. As I mentioned before I can't change or remove the number although I have 2 numbers, a home and a mobile, but both shows "Primary" and editing or removing is not allowed.
