Hello! My main email account has been recently hacked. Luckily, I have a second one which I changed all my accounts to. How can I set the second one as the standard email address and remove the other one? Hope you can help! Thanks!

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.
