Please implement this. Your adoring users would greatly appreciate it. 

 

This is my username on paypal.me: <removed>

My username on every other site I belong to is: <removed>

 

I really don't like letting the entire world know my proper full name. It's strange. I think a lot of others feel the same way.

Ok, I cannot change my PayPal link. But can I simply create a new PayPal account with the same card instead?

Hello,

 

Though PayPal may not easily allow you to change your PayPal.me link, there are numerous way to create you own link.

For example: On your own web page, you could use a meta tag in the <head>:

 

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=https://paypal.me/nexweb">

 

 

Create a JavaScript function for links or button clicks or redirect with the programming language or your choice:

 

 

<a href="#" id="payme">Pay Me</a>

<button onclick="location.href = 'https://paypal.me/nexweb';" id="myButton" class="float-left submit-button" >Pay me</button>


<script type="text/javascript">
    document.getElementById("payme").onclick = function () {
        location.href = "https://paypal.me/nexweb";
    };
</script>

 

 

Creating a dynamic redirect with the programming language or your choice is simple and this method gives you the opportunity to create relevant pages or links and track the click activity as well ...

 

 

header("Location: https://paypal.me/nexweb");
die();

 

Then you could have your own paypal.me link like:  mydomain.com/my_payment_url

 

Thank you.

The fact that you have 38 pages x 10 or so people, that's 380 people all saying the same thing, that they wish they could change their paypal URL, and all for very good reason I might add - should be sign enough that this is the way to making Paypal even better. And I am one you can add to the list.

You can change a paypal.me link and loads have done so already, all you have to do is contact customer services and they will change it for you.

 

Contact options for each countries Paypal customer services are accessed by clicking help/contact bottom left of Paypal pages.

1. Paypal phones when available (you can use the guest option if you can't log in).
2. Live chat is also randomly available.
3. You can send them a message, during business hours you may also be able to message whilst logged out.
Or
4. Have you considered contacting Customer Service via Facebook or Twitter?
You can send them a personal message from their Facebook or Twitter pages.
It's: https://www.facebook.com/PayPal and @AskPayPal for Twitter.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.

It's not this simple. I've already tried contacting customer support and they would not change the link. I've given up. This shouldn't be a complicated or time-consuming process to have updated.
