Hi kurbads,

 

Thanks for posting.

 

It's only possible to have one PayPal.me link associated with each PayPal account. You can open another PayPal account for a second business but you would need a separate email address and separate financial information to use this.

 

I hope this helps.

Why exactly is it so hard to introduce the ability to change your PayPal.me link it's a simple matter of removing the record for a single account or updating if already set this is a simple task which could be done in 5 minutes and please don't give me its for security or just create another account because that is simply creating a shed load more work for such a basic task

@PayPal_Rachael You're a moderator, and your response is to tell us to get a new email account, a new paypal account, and a new bank account! Seriously!?!?!?
Is @PayPal_paula the only one with any sense here? A proper response is that you have sent this issue to the developers as a critical must fix issue because it is costing PayPal money to be supporting a feature that many users (I'm sure several times more than the vocal ones on this forum) are completely unable to use because of this oversight.

Ditto. I changed business names during a conversion - and greatly need to update/change the PayPal.me URL.

I did the same thing, upgraded to business account after having set up as a personal account a year ago. Now I have my personal name and would rather have my business name. Please make this available for people who upgrade their accounts.

Please add me to the list of folks who entered their personal "name" instead of business name. I would really like to be able to fix the issue.

Another one needing this feature, it seems like PayPal doesn't hear the community, so what is this forum for?

+1 for this. I was just experimenting and I didn't realise I'd be stuck with the URL for eternity... Not a feature to do this. It's a necessity because I entered a URL that I never intended using and not something I'm going to hand out so PayPal.me is now something I can't use.

Totally agreed that we should be able to change it. I've made the same mistake of misspelling my stillborn sons fundasier name page on the PayPal.me, so won't be using that now. I can't see how hard it is to change the URL name. 😒
