I want to change my primary email address but PayPal says it’s not possible. The email address is no longer accessible now and I no longer wish any emails to be sent. Is there a way

Go and click on the profile tab (icon next to log out) > click on the + and add another/new email address first > verify it > go back and click on update and tick the box underneath that says make primary > then you should get the remove option by the old now no longer primary email. You can remove that one or leave it on as you can have up to 8 email addresses on the one paypal account.
