Go and click on the profile tab (icon next to log out) > click on the + and ''add'' another/new email address > 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 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.

I have the same issue, but the instructions don't align with what I'm seeing. I have clicked to confirm it numerous times but it still says "unconfirmed" and won't give me an option to make it my primary email.
