I no longer have my administrative email address. Paypal will not let me delete it since it is administrative. Anyone know how to change and delete this?

Try adding a new email address, make it primary and then delete the old email address.

golfcartqueen- This was actually answered back in December of '09! From the research I found, you need to have at least 3 confirmed email addresses on your PayPal account before you can change the administrative email.
Hope this helps!

Hello DSC11,
I'm not sure if you have already tried this--but I will throw it out there to try and help!
Once you go to PayPal's website, log into your account, and then copy and paste this link into the address bar:
https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_profile-logins-change-admin
Here are some tips when changing Admin email addresses:
- Only the Administrator of the PayPal account can make changes to the Administrative email address.
- You can't register your primary email address as your Administrative email address.
- To change your Administrative email address, you must have a user added.
- To maintain your internal controls, we recommend you do not use this email address to receive payments.
- For your security, it is recommended the Primary User be the Administrator of the PayPal account.
Hope this helps!
