How do I delete an account that I opened with a faulty email address?

So I opened an account (#1), but typed the email address wrong. So obviously I'll never be able to confirm it.

And yet before I realized it was wrong, I managed to enter a French debit card and purchase an item using the Paypal page. Since the Paypal confirmation will be going to a wrong email address, I'll never see the confirmation for the purchase.  The vendor will also probably send me a receipt to the wrong email address.

 

I did manage to open another account (#2) with my correct email address.  So now I need to somehow contact the vendor, let them know my correct email address. Unfortunately, they'll only see my purchase with the wrong account #1.

Ugh. what a mess. I don't know if I should wait until my item arrives (from Thailand) and then close the account #1.

 

Help.
